    Can the small claims court assist me in placing a judgement on losing party’s assets
    Tenant broker their lease three months prior to expiration and demand letters have been sent out by my attorney. I will be pursuing small claims shortly, if I am awarded a judgement by small claims court, how will I be able to enforce this? Will the court assist me with garnishment of wages? Will the losing party be required to testify regarding assets and income? How do I recover my attorneys fees? This is for the state of Orlando, Florida. Thank you.

    This is the catch 22 of obtaining a judgement. Obtaining the judgement is often the easy part. Collecting on it is another story. The court may provide some help like ordering the defendant to complete a statement of assets. That will vary from court to court. But its generally the plaintiff's task to find assets, then petition the court for a garnishment order and have it served on the holder of the asset.
