Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Rhode Island

I won is small claims court and a judgement was agreed upon that the defendant would pay me $100 weekly and sign over her state and federal income tax checks to me. I have not been paid in over 2 months. What is the best approach I can take to ensure I get paid? Can I garnish her tax refunds in small claims court? Can I garnish her bank account? How do I go about doing this if possible?
