with her doing indigent work for the State I am sure there is a way I can garnish through the Comptroller's Office. At least I think I should be able to. She has to file for payment from the State within a specific period of time after the case is completed.
Usually self employed /contractors are exempt from garnishment but I would definitely check it out as laws may be different there. If nothing else I would do everything you can to make her miserable. Spend $100 just to make her life hell ..especially the interrogatories. People hate filling those out ...Having a bench warrant out would not be so good for an attorney. We had a few picked up on those for failure to answer. Some just paid as to avoid having to answer them and give all their financials.
Oh and you may know, but a lien only comes into play when she goes to sell the property.
Oh and all the costs of collecting get added to her as well...assuming you can collect on it eventually.
