Claiming back divorce costs

Hi, :)
my current GF went through a divorce in 2015.
her ex-husband signed on the divorce papers to pay the divorce costs (£410)
He never paid.
She's currently going through money claim online.
We've issued a judgement for the money. not paid
Now applied for a warrant today.
I'm aware it takes a few days for the court to accept this & now nothing to do with money claim online after this has taken place.

Can anyone give me a step-by-step process of what we do next if the ex-husband doesn't pay/respond to the warrant in claiming this back?

Many Thanks :)

    Worst case he ends up with a CCJ, yyou might get an attachment of earnings on his salary but if he has no money you won't get much beyond satisfaction

    Sam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness: 

    People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.
