Reply #55: Ida--you probably already know this, but once you have the second judgment...

[Shakespeare]

...have judgment liens recorded for both of them with your county recorder (PM me if you need help with this or have questions), and in any county they move to (if you can track them down). It only costs a few dollars to do this. At the very least, it'll stop them from obtaining a mortgage (or any other large-form financing), for years, and may keep them from even getting a lease if a potential landlord does a records search, unless and until they pay you back (that's usually a good motivator).

I'm sorry you're going through this--what a horrible situation. :hug:
