If you had your judgment recorded in the Georgia state court where the property was deed, the sale should have recognized your lien.
If the property sale went through anyway, then you may want to make a claim against the new owners and potentially their title insurance will pay the claim.
The title company should have done a title search, and should have recognized your lien.
If you failed to record your judgement in Georgia, then you have no recourse there.
In North Carolina, it will be hard and costly to try to execute your New Jersey judgement due to that states debetor exemptions.

Yes it was recorded in Georgia. I didn't think about the new owner. If I should put a claim against her she can't sue me though right?

I would think that if you file, she would claim her state exemptions that protect her assets. She may be uncollectable at this point. She can and may counter sue if she has legal cause to do so. How much money are you talking about that she owes you?

How can she counter sue, for what? She owes about 5,000.00 and she is being charged interest since she chose to ignore it for along time. She was living in Ga. when I filed the domestic and then she got married and moved to NC and I had her served there.
