A. If you do not have any information about the judgment debtor's assets, you may file an Application and Order to Produce Statement of Assets and to Appear for Examination (SC-134) with the clerk.
- The Order of Examination is a hearing where you ask the judgment debtor questions about his or her assets. You may ask the judgment debtor questions regarding where the judgment debtor banks, works, and other questions which will reveal assets. There is a fee to file an Order of Examination of a Judgment Debtor.
- If you file for an Order of Examination, you may request a Subpoena Duces Tecum from the court which, when served, will order the debtor to bring certain documents to the examination hearing. Documents that are generally subpoenaed include pay stubs, bank statements, accounts receivable, and any other documents that tend to show where there are assets.
- Both the Application and Order to Produce Statement of Assets and to Appear for Examination and Subpoena Duces Tecum must be personally served on the judgment debtor. For more information on personal service, see our Proof of Service page.
