Record the judgment with the County Recorder in the county where the judgment debtor resides. Instruct the sheriff to levy the person's bank accounts and wages. If the judgment debtor owns a retail business, you can have a keeper camp out in the business for a day at a time and take whatever money comes in. You can schedule a debtor's exam to find out what other assets are owned. Also, you can call the person and ask that the judgment be paid.
Or you could read the book, Collect Your Judgment. It's in the library.or available from Nolo Press.
