Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Michigan
I obtained a small claims judgement in my favor for about $300 almost 20 years ago. I garnished wages at the time but the person soon quit and I lost track of them. I have recently located them and their current employer and want to pursue this claim and grnish their wages again. Can I charge interest? (at 18% it is now up to $9000). The county where the judgement occured says they need the date of the judgement and I am not positive of the year, much less the date. Anyone have some advice? This is in the state of Michigan.

Judgments expire in 10 years. If you did not renew same, you are out of luck. www.kliszlaw.com. Tim Klisz
