Is this fraud? What can I do?

[ev]

My divorce was final in Oklahoma, I live in CA my ex in Indiana. When we filed all the financials, my ex was ordered to give me (as part of the settlement) his pension from a place he had worked. He gave the value (7 years ago) as 10K. I have found out since that this alleged amount that was credited against me....actually doesn't exist. He was not vested, so this was a lie to the Court and myself....anyone have any thoughts?

I know in Mass. that is a case for contempt. Bring him to court on contempt charges, if court orders says that then he is liable to pay you regardless if he lied. One way or another he has to honor the court order.

Thanks for the help, I did some more research, and finally found the OK statute "Any order pertaining to the division of property pursuant to a divorce decree or seperate maintenace action, if willfully disobeyed, may be enforced as an indirect contempt of court". Now I need to determine what to do from CA about this Oklahoma problem. Any thoughts about perhaps letting him know what I am thinking of doing to see if he would settle? Since the money has been earning interest all this time should I figure out how to get that number if possible? The award was not a percentage of this particular account. It was the account in total. Thanks again.
