Hello again, admin:
You were awarded a judgment. It the defendant wanted to STOP you from collecting your judgment, he would have filed for a "stay". He didn't. Therefore, in my view, your judgment is valid and just waiting to be collected upon. Go get the WRIT of execution, and take it to the sheriff, or the court bailiff or the constable. There IS someone who is available to serve writs and collect judgments. You just need to find out who it is.
The fact that the judge ADDED a defendant makes your case stronger. Now you can collect against either one.
