I had a friend, he owes my mother 10000 (ten K), before we went to the notary to legalize a document where it states about the loan my mom did to him. He agreed to pay monthly, at least 1000 but failed to do so last 4 months, now I am very upset, worried and frustrated because he is hiding from us, he moved to another house we don't know, and plays when we call, tries to make like he can't hear us in his cell phone. My mom trusted him because of 5 years of friendship and he wanted to create a company, now he owns his company here in Fairfax VA and I want to go to the court to do a kind or ( I don't know) of file to make him pay my mom's money that she has tireless worked for.

What should I do here in Fairfax? Any advice?>? He got married to a citizen in order to get documents in this country, Is it going to affect him? I tell you my mom's cell phone went so low she can not think in any other thing than the bad action of my ex-friend.

Do you have any documentation of the loan? If so, you will hae to sue him to obtain a judgement. To sue you will have to serve him with papers. You can then obtain a judgement and then a garnishment order.

So I take that agreement to the court of fairfax county, and tell to the court of his violation. How long could it take? Will he be on pressure to pay my mom? Thanks

No, you go to a court and file suit against him. The court will issue a summons for a court date. Once the summons is served you go to court where you show that he hasn't made payments. The judge them rules on on the suit.

I don't want to be pesimist but, someone said that even court can't make him pay. What actions would court take? If justice were in my hands I would find him and let my madness decide, because of he my mom ain't all right

A court can't make him pay. They can only award you a judgement. But, with a judgement you can garnish wages and assets (if you can find them).
