How do you get the money you have coming from a court case?
A disabled friend of ours represented himself in court and sued a corporation due to a bad paint job. He was awarded $1200 but it’s been well over 30 days and he hasn’t received payment. What form does he need to use and where can I get that?

Have the battle of litigation is collecting on the judgment. What your friend needs to do is to prepare an order of examination application, have it issued by the court and serve it in the designated agent for service of process for the corporation.
At the hearing the agent for the corporation will show up and your friend then asks it where it banks as well as other information as to its assets. Once the information is obtained, your friend then submits a levy application on the bank. There are forms online that can assist you and your friend.
