He did obtain the money. He bought 50 acres of land and built a house, bought a car, lots of furnishings, etc etc. I saw his investment company statements during discovery.
The fact that he has to pay taxes on the money has nothing to do with it. The amount in the property settlement is much less than that and he agreed to pay it and is now in contempt of a court order.
If it’s his inheritance and you had no shared money during marriage why are you entitled to it?
Are you exceptionally dim?
We can see why you are divorced. If it is inheritance, its greedy to demand a part of it as its not your family money.

Thanks everyone.
I need to check to see if the agreement requires that breaching party pays for litigation to address such breach . I never should have signed this deal, I was a mess at the time due to games Ex was playing (and in retrospect should not be surprised that he would renege on legal commitments like this).
He doesn’t have the money. Millions to be inherited means nothing as he doesn’t not have that money.
Pretty sure the OP said he inherited the money after they separated so it seems unlikely he spent it all. Agree with the other PP that your settlement agreement likely contains an attorney fees provision to enforce the agreement so that's one option. A cheaper option would be to have DCSE enforce the child support amount.
Even if he had inherited it before they separated, she wouldn’t be entitled to a dime.

Has anyone dealt with it, or have any experience? I made decisions related to him paying everything (went back to get a degree to re-invent my career at a late age so I can work until I am 75 or longer hopefully). This is devastating that he is not cooperating. I never expected that he would be so unethical. He inherited millions right after the separation, and thus he has the money. He does not work.
If there's a court order, you may be able to get your attorneys fees reimbursed for going to court to hold him in contempt.
