[quote=Anonymous]How much money does she owe you? You won't be able to force her to pay you without going to court. Small claims court costs will vary by jurisdiction, but generally you'll have to pay both a filing fee and a sheriff's fee (or the equivalent) for service upon the defendant (in Fairfax County, the filing fee is $46 and the service fee is $12, so $58 to file). Then you have to hope they actually can serve her, or your case won't go anywhere (are you sure you have a current address for her?). Then, even if you get a judgment in your favor, there's no guarantee you'll see the money. If she doesn't pay the judgment voluntarily, you'll have to file again, and pay another filing fee, for the enforcement action, which still won't get you anything if she doesn't have a job from which you can garnish wages, or own a home (but even then, you won't see your money until she sells the house).[/quote]
