No matter how hard the ex-spouse (or their lawyer) may try.

Have you searched the court records of all fifty states?
Unless you have, your "assurance" is worthless, and comes perilously close to, if not crosses, the line for practicing law without a license.
If true, your assertion is simply a reflection of the fact that most lawyers and clients are unwilling to take the risk that the client sit in jail until he or she complies with the court's order, and most judges view civil contempt as a very last resort.
You are 100% correct that the court has no jurisdiction over Mileage Plus, a neighbor's dog, or a foreign bank. Yet these kinds of issues arise all the time, and the court does have jurisdiction over the parties, and full power to compel them to follow the court's orders.
Any claim to the contrary is a grave disservice to FlyerTalkers and others reading this thread.
At least those gullible enough to believe you on that particular emphasized point. Your other information was most helpful and informative. Thanks for taking the time to share your story.
