Judgement granted for property settlement in divorce...?

Is there anyone out there who was granted a property settlement judgement when their divorce was granted + interest on the unpaid balance at --% etc. etc. and if you collected from the ex (who refused to pay it initially) how did you do it? By the way, I'm in Texas and need information about Texas law and how it works out here. Any referrals, online resources, or info from you lawyers out there would be greatly appreciated. I was married to him for 20 years, barely escaped with the clothes on my back and a car, he destroyed all my personal belongings - - clothes, family heirlooms, pictures, etc. by digging a hole in the ground and shoving it all in and burying it. (Symbolic, huh?) The divorce drug on for almost 5 years, but I finally got it, and the judge awarded me a $50K cash settlement + 10% interest. That was 4 years ago. I have a job, but no money set aside for retirement. This could make a big difference in my "golden years", but I need to know what I am up against.

    Here is the perfect web site for your question. Free Legal Advice.

    Just state the state of Texas.

    Good luck, it is good to see someone to care of themselves and not settle for less.

    Oh wait! It is called Prosecuting Judgement. You need to file it in the court now. It will take the money out of his bank account, property, ect....

    I just hope that there was not a Statute of Limitations to file the Prosecuting Judgement.

Hel go with the shotgun it is a pain in court trust me.

    I don't have resources, but I would suggest you consult a family-law attorney right away. BTW: I'm sorry you've been through such a terrible ordeal.
