As part of my wife's divorce from her former husband, he was required to pay half the medical bills. What would happen is that she would pay the bill up-front and hand him a receipt and a running tally of his 50%. As time went on, he would pay some of it, but typically he would carry a balence of 200-300. Well, one year he got real slack about it and by the end of the year owed my wife over $1000. I honestly don't remember how much over, but it's a substantial chunk of change.
At the end of the year, she took him to small claims court over it as was suggested, and won a judgement. He never paid the judgement and now we just have a piece of paper that says he owes her the money with no real teeth to it. I've been told that they cannot garnish his wages and since he doesn't own a home we can't put a lein in it. I'm also told that we can't put a lein on his "only" vehicle because he has to be able to get to work (presumably to pay the money he owes).
I have found out recently that he does in fact own two other vehicles in addition to his main vehicle. Does anyone have any experience in this field? I'd prefer real-world knowledge to conjecture.
