How do I go about the collections process?

Hello everyone, I have a situation I am looking for some insight/advice on.

I own a rental property here in Indiana near where I live, the tenant stopped paying, my management company filed for eviction and eventually got them out, I lost out on several months rent, legal fees and some damages. Several months later, we successfully get a judgement on the previous tenant for $5,000. It appears the attorney sent it to collections; however, I am not familiar with this process, anyway, that was in September and I have not received a single payment from them.

Using the judgement can I get my ex-tenant’s employer to garnish their wages to pay me back?

If so, how?

What have you guys done in this situation?

Thanks in advance!
