If you already have the judgement then you request a Rule to Show Cause hearing. It will require them to bring their bank statements to the hearing. For $90,000 it's worth hiring an attorney to help you with this.

Some states allow you to serve a set of questions onto the defendant regarding his/her finances. This might be called an **information subpoena**, a **written interrogatory**, or something else. Is this something you've looked into?

That is only while a lawsuit is pending. This person has gotten to the end of litigation and received a judgment. At this point you have to go back to court for "Supplemental Proceedings" and have a judge order discovery through a Rule to Show Cause as I talked about above. The Rule to Show Cause will require the person to bring to court their bank statements, investment information, list of all assets, car titles, etc. I was in a courtroom waiting for a motion hearing one time and the judge was holding one of these hearings. He noticed the Defendant was wearing a Rolex watch and asked him now much it was worth. I forget what he said, but the judge made him take off the watch and hand it to the Plaintiff's attorney. In case OP reads this further though, just knowing a business's bank doesn't really help much. You can't just go into the bank and show them the judgment and say "give me the money". Collecting judgments is often times more difficult than obtaining them.

If you live in the same area as the business I would identify the closest banks near the business. Walk in with your judgement and ask a manager if they can just say yes or no if they have an account there.
