Based on what I was told in regards to my small claims case, you can pursue him for the money if you know his place of employment, or his bank, then you can have the local authorities go to those places for the money, otherwise you can take comfort in knowing that your winning case remains against him, till he pays for the next 20 yrs, effecting his future credit. Good luck !
