Small Claims Court Sue?

If the Defendant doesn't show up and it can be proven that he received the summons, your son will get what is called a default judgment, which means that he has won the case but does not mean he gets the money. If he is not paid within a certain amount of time, he will then need to get a writ of execution, which will allow him to go with a police officer to the residence or business address of the Defendant and take property worth $200.
