Next serve the defendant with an Information Subpoena. This is a list of written questions the judgment debtor has to complete and send back to you. It will list all of his/her bank accounts, other assets and job location so that you can grab them and garnish the wages. The small claims court (Special Civil Part) has forms for this.
