Legal Question

collecting money on a court order

We won our appeal and the other party was ordered to pay all of our appeal costs. This was in August of 1997. Our attorney has written to the court to try to get him to pay with no success. What other options do we have to try to persuade him to pay?

collecting on court judgment

Your attorney should be quite familiar with the various options for collecting on a judgment. Among these are garnishing a bank or other financial account, or attaching a paycheck through the employer. If you are not aware of the judgment debtor's assets or where they work, you can subpoena them to court and require them to reveal where their assets are. You can also require them to produce financial and other asset records as part of this process.

collecting on a court judgment

When a party is ordered to pay costs, and does not doso, the standard procedure would be for your attorneyto advise the court of the same. the court would then issuea "show cause" order, requiring the defendant to cometo a hearing to "show cause" why that order has not beenpaid.

That is the first step. The court may also grant youinterest on the amount which remains unpaid, if it findsthat the reason it has not been paid is not a substantialcause for being unable to pay.
