Your collection options

These follow Indiana law. See the full Indiana guide for forms, fees, and deadlines.

Debtor's asset exam

Form Verified Motion for Proceedings Supplemental, under Indiana Trial Rule 69(E)

Up to Lesser of 25% of weekly disposable earnings, or the amount by which weekly disposable earnings exceed 30x the federal minimum wage ($217.50/wk at $7.25). On a showing of good cause the court may reduce the amount, but not below 10% of disposable earnings.

Bank levy

Property lien

A final money judgment of a circuit/superior court (or any court of record of general jurisdiction) automatically becomes a lien on the debtor's real estate in the county where the judgment is entered and indexed in the judgment docket (IC 34-55-9-2). To reach property in another county, deliver/mail a certified copy of the judgment to that county's clerk for entry in its judgment docket.
