Laws on collecting judgments vary by state, but it is generally up to the judgment creditor to take steps necessary to collect the judgment. Depending on the laws of your state, you might be able to put a lien on his home, garnishment wages if you know where he works, levy on his bank account or seize other assets that you might find. Some states allow you get a court ordered deposition to question him about his assets. You can also hire a private investigator to look for assets to seize.

What is a judgment in personal finance?
When a person is taken to civil court (for example, a credit card company suing a cardholder to get paid back), the court makes a judgment for or against the plaintiff (entity initiating the lawsuit, in this example, the credit card company). If the judgment is for the plaintiff, the result is effectively a judgment against the defendant (the person taken to court in the example). Part of the judgment is the amount that is to be paid to the entity winning the court case (judgment). Judgements against a borrower (and the amount set to be paid by that borrower) will make their way onto the credit report and will cause a drop in credit score.
