O.K. I got granted the remainder of the money and she was court ordered to pay by April 1st which is today by certified funds. I did not receive a check and now I'm not sure how to follow up on the money. We mediated the whole thing. The judge didn't even need to be there. The mediator asked her like 5 times if she was going to be able to pay that money on today's date and she said yes. He advised her that she would be in a lot of trouble if she didn't pay. Ex: leans would be put on her and her (now husbands) house or even cars, and go after joint bank accounts. It would go on her credit, and even possibly getting arrested. I think that people are saying that small claims court is a joke that you never have to pay and if you already have nothing to lose why would you pay anyway? And the court doesn't enforce anything if she doesn't pay so how am I supposed to collect? I mean what is small claims for if you are not required buy law to pay????
