July 2015 was the year I created Luma Illustrations. I was having a hard time coming up with a cool but fun name so I took the first two letters of both of my cat’s names: Marbles and Luna, and thought “Illustrations” could work! & BAM! Luma Illustration

I didn’t want to do this since I didn’t want to ask for help since I try to do a lot by my self, but I did make a GoFundMe to help the situation.
If you guys can share the link that would be very helpful. Thank you.
Go to this link for the gofundme and for the more info on what fully happened.
Thank you for clarifying. For readers outside the US, this paints a more complete picture now. That "small claims"-ruling was definitely invented by a person who never had to worry about money to begin with... :|
So you won the case, but for the next 20 years the person in the wrong can essentially just ignore it and act as if nothing had happened.
Yea no kidding, could be different per state :/

Wow... O_O
I'm not a lawyer/solicitor, so correct me if I'm wrong, but... It is my understanding that in most places, the legal party who loses has to pay for the other sides' legal fees. If you sued him and won, those kinds of fees should be 'on him'.
Equally, if he does not pay you back, a marshal/bailiff would come knocking at his place and if he does not have the money, the marshal/bailiff would (in essence) mark stuff of theirs to be auctioned off in order to balance the bill. Is that not what happened?
Also: The tags will work out better with hyphens between the individual words.

So he didn’t show up to court so it defaulted to our win. In my state what we spent for legal fees and stuff added to his total and from there he would need to pay back. Due to it being a small claims it isn’t “forced” on him but stays on him collecting interest for 20 years.
Also thanks I fixed the tags!
