As far as her being humiliated in front of her kids, well she should get it together and pay her rent, and her kids should understand that when you don't pay rent as agreed you get kicked out of your rented house.

From what I can tell, you were able to obtain default judgment, as the tenant did not timely respond to the court notice, and subsequently you obtained final judgment for possession (signed by a judge and entered into official record by the clerk.)As far as I would think, the legal matter was closed/adjudicated at that time - any lawyer potentially about to take the case to represent the tenant/defendant should have seen it that way in the system.
