Re: enforcing judgement
If the judgment is for money damages, you file a request for garnishment. There are a number of ways of getting the money from a judgment, including have the sheriff execute on personal property (cars, boats, etc.) and garnishing bank accounts and wages.
Nolo Press has some good advice about how to go about this process.
