<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:windowtext">I have an issue I have not dealt with before. My client was the victim of an embezzlement. The sentencing judgment ordered restitution in the amount of $30,000 with terms
and directed defendant to make monthly payments to the registry of the court to be disbursed to my client. The defendant has stopped making payments, but has substantial equity in her house. The prosecuting attorney shows no interest in enforcing collection<u>.
Question:</u> could a copy of the restitution order be recorded against the defendant’s real estate or would it be necessary to seek a modification of the judgment naming my client as the judgment creditor and awardee?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
