I have a judgement for 5000 and I am trying to seek payment. How do I type up a motion for a judgement debtor rule or is there an online form I can use?
answered on Aug 26, 2024
My suggestion is that you at least consult with a lawyer to see what you need to do and the best way to accomplish it. That said, you can also call the court in which you want to file the judgment debtor rule and ask it if it has a form to provide you.
