My question involves court procedures for the state of: CA
i am the victim of violent crime by a family member who was found guilty back in 05 of misdemeanor assult, he was ordered to pay restitution and serve 3 years summary probation.
when his probation was up he stopped paying the restitution, the DA says
i will have to pursue things like wage garnishment, property lien or something along the civil lines.
he owes me aprox. $ 7,000.00 he also wishes i was dead so there is no use appealing to him to pay, i have zero funds for a lawyer to help me collect
i am in los angeles county and seek advice.
as a side note the amount of restitution he was ordered to pay was divided in half, half to me for medical bills and half to the victims of violent crimes, i do not know if he stopped paying them as well.
and in closing it seems a shame that just because his probation has expired that the DA's office cannot enforce the court ordered restitution.
