Here, Randy, I lifted this directly from the state website:
Quote:
"There are a number of enforcement procedures that are available to help the judgment creditor enforce and collect the judgment. These include:
* Court orders that require the judgment debtor to appear in court to answer detailed questions about his or her income, bank accounts and property (Orders to Appear for Examination);
* Court orders requiring the judgment debtor to provide specific documents, such as bank account records or other financial statements (Subpenas Duces Tecum);
* Court orders requiring the judgment debtor to surrender cash to the judgment creditor or valuables and other personal property in his or her possession to a levying officer (turnover orders); and
* Court orders (Writs of Execution) authorizing a sheriff or marshal to obtain money directly from a judgment debtor's bank or other financial account (bank levies), from regular salary or wages (wage garnishments) or from a business's cash register or safe (keeper levies).
If the judgment debtor has real property (for example, a house, a lot, or a condo), the judgment creditor can tie up the property or sometimes force the sale of the property (Abstract of Judgment). Also, if the claim is based on a motor vehicle accident, the judgment creditor may be able to have the judgment debtor's driver's license suspended until the judgment is paid."
