Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in California

I have a judgment in California. I was awarded attorney fees in a post trial motion in the amount of $3500.. Since then, I have incurred additional fees in attempts to collect on the judgment including almost $28,000 in additional attorney fees fighting the debtor in Bankruptcy court when he tried to file for bankruptcy. His discharge was denied. How do I add those to my judgment? Do I just file a memorandum of costs? Or do I have to file a motion and ask the judge to award them?

Congratulations! Once again the case is over, and you won. If you prevailed in an adversary action in BK court, file a timely motion for your extra attorney fees according to the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure and your local court rules. Having been paid $28,000, your attorney should be willing and able to do this.
