Norfolk, VA asked in Civil Litigation, Collections and Landlord - Tenant for Virginia

Q: I need help filling out a garnishment summons & suggestion for summons in garnishment.

My housemate didn't pay her half of rent & utilities for 3 months, so I had to pay both my share and hers to the landlord. I got judgment for over $2500 from the court. But she finally moved out, and I don't know where she went. I know where she works, though. Can I use her work address on the forms? The clerk of courts office won't any ANY questions.

I also know she was trying to get money from several charities to keep her from getting evicted. I know I can't touch her Social Security Disability payments, but can I get access to the money she got from the charities but never gave me?

Is there any legal way to find out her address and SS# without paying to court to do it?

I know where had her stuff taken to a storage place, but I don't know the unit number. Would I be able to ask for lien against that?
