You should consult with an attorney in your jurisdiction who specializes in family law. Some states allow retroactive child support collection. See link for an example in Nevada.

If I sign an acknowledgement of assignment of judgment am I giving up my right to collect?

If you are the 'creditor' of judgment and you sign for a third party to collect, then YES, your right to collect is given up. Because once that is signed you just signed over your judgment over to the third party, and it is considered THEIR judgment now. BUT you will still get your money judgment from the third party.

You question already describes the worst case scenario. The unsecured creditor hires an attorney, spends money to get a judgment and then can't collect the judgment.

How do you sell a judgment?

You can contact a 3rd party company. They will then either purchase the judgment from you, paying you a percentage of the amount owed on the judgment and they then become the owner of the judgment. OR you can contact a collection agency and they will attempt to collect on the judgment and will take a percentage of what they collect, IF they collect anything. Most collection agencies seem to take months upon months before they collect anything and sometimes even tell you "Sorry, we couldn't collect for you." A good way to get an idea of the process is to go to Google, type "judgment buyer" in the search field. You will get alot of companies. Read through the websites carefully and find out their procedures. I just used floridajudgmentbuyer.com and had no problem at all. But, that's just my experience. Good Luck!
