Getting a Judgment: Grab Their Money!

If you know or can find out where the debtor has a savings or checking account in New Jersey, you may ask that a Court Officer collect your judgment from the money in the account. You must provide the number of the bank, the address and the account number, if possible. Court Officers cannot search for bank accounts.

After the Court Officer gets the money, you have to file a Motion to Turn Over Funds, and if the court grants it, you will get the money from the bank account.
