How do I collect my judgment?
The Plaintiff or Attorney of record can request the issuance of a garnishment or levy.

You must have knowledge that the judgment debtor owns land or personal property free of liens or mortgages to issue a levy to satisfy the judgment.

You must have knowledge of the judgment debtor's employer to garnish their wages or knowledge of their bank account to garnish the account.
