Collecting on a judgement

If you know where he works, you can go file for a garnishment and take it from his paycheck. If not, you can file a citation for discovery to find out where he works and what assets he has that you can take.

If your state has a website for all its laws, try reading up on civil liabilities; or go to the section on judgments to see what you can do to enforce it.

You've already done the hard part, getting the judgment. From here it's a matter of knowing the procedure and the right forms to use. Go to your legal aid office and ask how it's done. It's actually a very simple process. Or, in the alternative, you can look in the yellow pages for someone who pursues judgments. It's usually a former paralegal or a private investigator. There is a small upfront fee and in most cases their fees are added into the garnishment so that you get no less than what you were awarded through the courts.

I don't know where he works but will check into legal aid. Thanks,

I was awarded a judgement against my ex husband. We were both on Soc. Sec. Disabilty and he has 2 retirement pensions. Can I garnish any or all of those assets?

social security is exempt from garnishment. Not sure about the pensions, that would probably depend on state laws.

This site should help you get started. I also know you can put a tax lien out so if he gets a return it gets intercepted and sent to you.

Pensions and 401K's cannot be garnished.
