What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Kansas, but judgement is from Oklahoma
I won a small claims case against my ex boyfriend in Oct of 2007 for $6K plus costs and interest.
We agreed on a payment order which was signed by the judge and filed by the court.
The defendant was supposed to make monthly payments, but hasn't been doing so.
According to the Tulsa County Small Claims website, my options for collecting are pursing a garnishment from the employer or asking the court for an asset hearing.
The defendant is not employed, so I am not sure a garnishment would be of any help to me.
The defendant doesn't own any significant assets to my knowledge.
Another trip to Tulsa for a hearing that might not produce anything helpful doesn't seem too appealing.
The last straw would be hiring an attorney, but I don't want to throw good money after bad money.
This is a significant amount of money that I would really like to collect.
Are there any other options for me to collect this money?
What should I be doing - I just recently received the defendants new address as he has been avoiding me.
