How to find a sole proprietor's personal assets for garnishment?
employment attorney Idaho Aug 2, 2026
Location: Idaho I won a case this year against a prior employer (workplace was an LLC until they failed to file their LLC paperwork in 2023, after that point are sole proprietorship or permanently closed. I was hired after the point they lost LLC status in 2023, and the lawsuit started in 2025 and ended in Feb 2026. They maintained normal business operations until March 2026) for unpaid wages (+treble damages). They showed up for the small claims case and struggled to try to argue their total innocence in small claims court. After much perjury and harassment against my person both in and out of the court room, I moved it to magistrate level and won a default judgement, they closed the business front/office, but are still running the business from their home in a limited capacity. Their business phone line still rings and has the voicemail message for the business but the website no longer works. People on Linkedin, including the owner of the business, are still listed as current employees. I have: The account number/name of her business bank from old paychecks, business owner's home address, her home phone number, the name of her kids school because she forced me to babysit her kids for free to get my paycheck a couple times, the business NPI (mental healthcare), exboss's personal NPI (peer support). I have sent interrogatories and all other relevant paperwork to the bank from my paychecks, and to my exboss regarding the bank account at the business's bank. I don't remember all that was in it, but the sherrif's department was very helpful in making sure I had everything in order for this phase of things. But I know that's not their only bank account because of the felony check bouncing issues (they would write a check outside the normal pay period after delaying paying the employees, then the check would bounce, but if you waited exactly 10 days before trying to deposit the check, the money would be there just fine and exboss would be EXTRA cross with you for no reason). A local legal aid place is helping me prepare to file a police report for the white collar crimes committed against my person but I don't want to officially turn in these reports until I get the money, because I don't want them using my money to pay bail. How do I find out which bank(s) she goes to for her personal accounts? Can I claim money from her underage children's accounts (another place she may be hiding money at) if the accounts recently had a surprisingly large deposit/transfer from an account owned by exboss or her husband? Can I write interrogatories to every bank in the town regarding my exboss's name and her husband's name or is there a more efficient way to do this like compelling them to tell the court all their banking information? What paperwork do I file to compel exboss and her (possibly ex)husband to state all of their banking information and assets? Thanks.
