How do I collect my family law money judgment (not for child or spousal/partner support orders)?
You have to collect your family law money judgment yourself. The court will not do it for you. There are some initial steps you can take: • Give them an address where they can mail the payment. You can offer to accept less than the whole judgment if they pay right away. Or, you can agree to take regular payments. But if you agree to accept less than the whole judgment, you will give up your right to the rest of the money • If the debtor does not pay you by the date the court ordered, write him or her a letter and include a copy of the court order. Remind them that they owe you money and that you may have to follow more serious steps if they don’t pay you voluntarily. • Talk to a lawyer. If the judgment debtor will not pay, it can be complicated, expensive and take a lot of time to collect your money.
