awarded judjement on rentor

[CAMIMDH]

After much worry, I served a rentor with eviction notice and also for request for judgement on back rent.
When in court the judge asked the rentor if she was still living in the house and if she would relinguish residence.
She said she still had some posessions and could be out by the weekend. The judge gave her one week to relinguish possession of the residence. Then asked her about back rent which totaled $1250.00. She said she owed it so the judge found that she would pay me the amount. That was it.
So I spoke to the rentor after the appearance in court.
She agreed when she gets her income tax refund to pay me. I told her to come by or mail a certified check to my residence. This where i think i made a mistake. My question is how long to i give her to pay. She indicated to my after the court appearance she will be moving in away from my city in june 2001. What do i need to do to ensure she pays me the entire amount that is now said owed by the court of $1250.
Does it matter if she moves out of the state of Illinois where the court judgement was made?

Yes it matters.

Only the Illinois court can seize her property or her paycheck or her anything else, without you finding her and spending money to establish the judgement in another state.
