Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Connecticut

My x has not taken my name off one of the two cars she was awarded in 2007 per our divorce. one of the cars are still being financed. i am the primary borrower. she has stopped making the payments and is hiding the car. i have asked family court to hold her in contempt for not taken it out of my name or to ask for the car back. the judges listen to her excuses and give her the time she needs that she claims to get caught up and losing sight that she never took the car out of my name per the divorce decree stating 90 days after we were divorced. the problem is she doesnt comply and i bring her back to court again for contempt and see a new judge and it starts over again since the new judge doest honor the previous judges request.

i have been to family court 8 times. my credit is shot but if i get the car back i can fix my credit, there is still time. my job is high security and they do a review on me every 5 years. i am due now and could lose my job because of this. and yes i have told this to the judges.

what if i sue her in civil court and show the court she has not comply to her obligation and is not paying the car payments and is hiding the car. could i sue for it back since it is worth $5000.00 per ct limit in small claims?

since she doesnt want to give up the address where the car is hiding, than i will attempt to ask the judge for the car back since she stopped paying and report the car stolen. this seems to be the only way to get her to take me serious. could i do this or what do you suggest? family court is not helping?

she is only living off of the $1800.00 i give her each month. the 19% lifetime pension i give her maybe the civil lawsuit could include that to be waved til the car is paid. i give her $300.00 per month. the car payment is $347.00.

a judgement will not scare her. knowing she could lose money monthly or being reported for theft if the judge awards me the car back would scare her to give up the car.

any advice will help me.
