Best Answer

If your defendant file bankruptcy and is successful, then you can not collect. Sorry. You went to all that inconvenience for nothing. The only exception is if there was a willful fraud committed by the debtor or they incurred a debt by driving under the influence, or child support and possibly (now) alimony.
