Court orders are not self-executing because they are essentially just words on a piece of paper. If a person simply refuses to obey the decision or order, the judge has no ability to enforce them. It's like when a kid gets told to do something and he says "Yeah, make me." The Courts have no ability to make people obey their decisions.
