Thanks for the advice/input, i think i have made some things unclear.
This was a 1 year process for me.
Accident happened May 11
Had to do a reserve duty check which took additional 3 months
had to file for a judgment, took 3 months
there was a judgment hearing in March, where the defendant admitted to the judge that he was guilty of all fines, thus a notarizer who was sitting there, proceeded to take us into a small room, where we talked about terms of repayment, he agreed to deposit 1,000K by the following monday...(WHICH he did). Then pay 500, for them month of april, then 5,000 for may, and 500 from then on till the full amount of 15,000 was fully paid off. However, i have been overseas this whole time, and he has only paid the initial 1,000 and my mother has been trying to communicate with him, but he keeps giiving her excuses.
His assets:
a house under his and his wifes name
Now i can either file a motion, which would do what? OR find another way to get my money? Can i use the lien method.. i think now that i have better explained it, it should make more sense ? Please, any advice would be great, im just trying to get the money he owes, and agreed to pay in a court room , infront of a notarizer and judge.
The opposite of talking is not waiting. The opposite of talking is LISTENING!
Meaning why do you bother to present your questions in here if you have not intention of paying any attention to the responses.
Furthermore, the only thing UNCLEAR is your confused, misguided conceptions of the rights of a judgment creditor!
Example, where you write:
Now i can either file a motion, which would do what?
Please explain what sort of “motion” you are talking about and where you would file it.
If it is your belief that the New Jersey court is going to intervene and lend a hand in satisfying your judgment, you are sadly mistaken. The judiciary is not a collection agency.
And why would your judgment debtor be more inclined to pay heed to your mother any more than you to his mother?

I think what is confusing you is this:
Obviously the judgment for the $15K did not result from a trial before the small claims court. It came about as the result of either a court ordered settlement conference with a neutral third party or through mediation with a trained mediator.
And the “notarization” you harp about had to do with the signing of the mediation or conference agreement and/or stipulation of judgment.
But that signed document, whatever it was, has no independent existence, force or effect. It only served as the basis for the judgment. The same as evidence produced in a trial of the issues would serve as the basis for the judgment.
So forget about this stupid notarized agreement you are obsessed with.
IT IS THE JUDGMENT itself that needs to be enforced, if in fact collectable, and in accordance with fixed legal processes.
And it is those fixed legal processes that I earlier mentioned as being beyond your knowledge and capability. (Including that of your mother.)
So, if you want to try and wring some money out of this jaybird, then turn the judgment over to a professional collector and stop wasting time playing with your PC.

And lastly, let me ask you this:
If you owed someone $14K, are you in a position to cut a personal check in that amount?
And if not, what makes you think that your debtor is in any better financial shape considering the condition in which investment bankers and Wall Street has left this country?
