In California, a contempt motion can be filed when one party fails to comply with a divorce decree or court order, such as failing to pay spousal or child support, not adhering to custody and visitation arrangements, or not following other financial obligations outlined in the decree. The moving party must provide evidence of the violation and explain why it constitutes contempt of court. A contempt motion serves as a legal mechanism to compel compliance and hold the non-compliant party accountable for violating the terms of the divorce decree. [I litigate cases.

Since your ex-spouse is violating the court order regarding asset division and QDRO completion, you can file a motion for contempt of court through your local family court. This legal action will compel him to comply with the agreement or face penalties from the judge. 
 
For the harassing text messages, document everything by taking screenshots and saving them securely. You can request a restraining order or protective order from the court, which will legally prevent him from contacting you except through approved channels like your attorneys. Consider blocking his number, but keep the evidence of past harassment. 
 
The fastest way to move forward is to contact the mediator and your divorce attorney (if you have one) to inform them of the situation. They can help file the necessary motions and may be able to expedite the process. Additionally, you might want to send a formal written notice through certified mail to your ex-spouse, stating your intention to pursue legal action if he doesn't comply with the court order within a specific timeframe - this demonstrates to the court that you've made good-faith efforts to resolve the situation before seeking their intervention.
