Re: obtaining a copy of an entered judgement

You should be able to get a copy of the judgement if you are willing to pay for the copy. You will want a certified copy. Some clerks of courts in the smaller counties can be difficult to deal with (and others are absolutely wonderful). If you still have problems, contact a lawyer to help you. Good luck.
