Welcome! My goal is to do my very best to understand your situation and to provide a full and complete answer for you.

Good afternoon. At this point, someone in your position would want to file a claim directly against the son. Once the suit is filed and a
judgment awarded, you become a judgment creditor and can have the sheriff serve
a summons on the losing party for a debtor examination. That forces the losing
party to meet the judgment creditor in court and answer questions under oath
about the losing party's assets. After that
information is obtained, the judgment creditor has the power to garnish wages, attach bank
accounts, and/or have the sheriff seize other
property to satisfy the judgment.

I hope this has given
