Q: Arizona Statue of limitations for a judgment post dissolution decree
ex spouse has not turned over a $7500 asset he was ordered to do so in July 2012.
A: This type of compliance with the court order isn't subject to a statute of limitations, but you may compromise your case by waiting indefinitely. You should consult with an attorney about a contempt action, although make sure it's cost effective for you if you decide to pursue it. In a contempt action, it is possible to receive a judgment for your attorney's fees and costs incurred, there is no guarantee. The risk of owing as much or more in attorney's fees as you could collect from your ex spouse might make you consider filing without representation.
