If either of the parties fails to obey the court orders the other party must return to the court that issued the decree and file a motion for contempt of court. That court has the power to enforce its judgment.

You cannot be arrested for failing to pay a debt. The collection could sue you, but the judgment would be nearly impossible to enforce. Your disability benefits cannot be taken or garnished to enforce the judgment. The most they could do is put the judgment on your credit rating, put a lien on your property and perhaps have some of your nonexempt property taken and sold to pay toward the judgment.

Does a lien go off a home after 7 years if not paid?

It depends on your state laws. Check your state laws to see how long a judgment can be enforced and if judgments are "renewable" in your state. My state (Georgia) length of time a judgment (lien) can be enforced is seven years unless the creditor requests a renewal of the judgment by filing in court again. Then they have seven more years to attempt to enforce the judgment.
