Legal Question in Family Law in Alabama
Collecting on a Judgement
My husband and I took a former landlord to small claims court to try to get our deposit back. The judge awarded us the judgement but our landlord lives in another state. How do I go about collecting on a small claims court judgement?

Re: Collecting on a Judgement
in order to enforce an judgment taken in this state in another state you will have to domesticate the alabama judgment in the foreign state. there are specific rules as to getting this done. however if your defendant owns property in alabama you may be able to execute on that property in order to satisfy your judgment. you must be careful that the defendant is the true owner of the property before you execute as there are penalties for wrongful execution. i will be glad to consult with you regarding this problem. call me or email me.
