Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Utah

Can I use an order to show cause to get an answer for an accounting of damages and waste alleged to have been caused by me as a tenant when I lived with the property owner? The judgment was signed by a judge in the amount in excess of of $90,000 while I was not present. I can verify that new tenants moved into the same property in less than 12 hours after I vacated. The home is worth approximately $275,000. A sheriff inspected the premises with both myself and the owners representatives. (my ex-husbands wife and the father of our daughter). I did nothing out of the ordinary while living there and in fact left a few improvements in the form of fixtures such as toilets seats and shower heads. Is there something better I can use other than an order to show cause?

If the judge has already entered a judgment against you, the time has passed to litigate your case. You are now under a legal obligation to pay the judgment.
