    Default Dishonesty in Answers to Discovery

    My question involves small claims court in the state of: Michigan

    Upon winning a small claim judgement and completing the discovery hearing the defendant gave a bank account with no funds and said had no other assets, however this person owns a business with equipment and payroll but said nothing is in his name. After attempting garnishments what recourse is there to find other assets either in defendants name or business assets. What recourse do I have with them submitting false information should I find assets.

    If you believe you can prove that the defendant lied under oath in a creditor's exam, it seems sensible to petition the court for a show cause hearing at which the defendant will be ordered to explain (i.e., "show cause") why he should not be held in contempt of court.
