Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Wisconsin

Landlord/Tenant issue

I evicted a tenant who owes me $3500.00 in back rent. She was to fill out a financial obligation sheet and mail it to me. She did not do that and I ended up taking her back to court for contempt. She did not show up and there was a body warrant put out on her. She was picked up and the Judge had her fill out the financial obligation form. It was mailed to me. However she put N/A for income for her and her husband. Is there anything I can do now to get my money from her?

She also stated on the form that she has a $1800.00 car and is receiving child support from her husband.

Re: Landlord/Tenant issue

It may be hopeless, but no matter how poor a debtor is, creditors still have additional rights to discover assets under oath, send the sheriff to serve executions, etc. Or at least, creditors have such rights until the debtor finally files bankruptcy. This person certainly sounds eligible to do so.
