Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Florida

My Corvette was hit by a drunk driver, early last year. I have a signed "Arbitration Agreement" from him that would have paid for the damages to my car over 1 year of monthly payments. In addition, restitution for a larger amount was part of the terms of his probation. Over the following 12 months, I received a total of $200.00 in payments from him. The amount that I should have received was $5300.00 in that time. Very near the end of his probation, the DUI driver "Violated" his probation, and had to post $1,000.00 for bail until his hearing. The Court sent the $1,000.00 to me when he showed up in court, since he was so far in arrears in making restitution. Since then, I have received the "Default Judgement" from the Court, from the Civil Proceedings, showing that he still owes me $4100.00 of the original $5300.00 Judgement. All I need to know is how to get the Court Order to garnish his wages, what forms are required, and who I file the form(s) with. Thank you for any help you can offer with this

As a corvette owner I admire your persistance. The clerk of court should be able to help you fill out the forms to garnishee wages. He cannot be the head of a household.

What bank wrote the checks before.?
