What makes you think that you are entitled to ignore them?

You don't believe it is fair?
the judge disagreed. There wasn't a sign on the court house door that said "if you disagree with the decision you can just ignore it" was there?

Pay the money.

What will happen? Well the court costs will stay with you. They will wake you up at 3am every day. You will go for a loan for a house / boat / car / credit card and you will be knocked back because of this debt...

You went to court, you didn't win. Or to put it another way, you lost. That is what happens in court. So feel free do disregard the orders, but the law will catch up with you

Contravene the orders for long enough and you could also ultimately land yourself in prison.
