We are fighting a case against GC Trucking in Wisconsin which is now, no longer in business. My husband worked for them and he never got paid. They FINALLY filled out the financial disclosure forms but still refuse to pay my husband. The judge wouldnt give us any legal advice. Are we able to go after the owners individually now? What other options do we have?
One of the owners has also threatened to put a restraining order on ME if we continue this. I am of no threat to her at all. All we want is what is owed to my husband.
We are in need of help here. What else can we do?
Serious replies only please.

As the company is now out of business and likely bankrupt, you could spend endless time and hour trying to collect.
A better solution...get as UCC search from the State of Wisconsin and find out what liens the company has outstanding.
File a complaint with the Labor Board in WI and file your proof and documenation that your husband earned the money that is due and name any and all lien holders.
As payroll take priority over any debt incurred, any bank that lent money to you hubby's former employer may more likely than not, decide to pay you out and add it to their balance to perfect their security interest against the debtor.
Good luck!

You are threatening with restraining orders. This means that the company has funds. So, sue them for bankruptcy. Let the court seizes their assets and have them auction off by the official assigner. At least you can get the satisfaction of seeing them in the same boat as you. Most probably you may have a small portion of the realised amount.

I believe that if the company files for bankruptcy, then you may not sue them. I think you can still go after the individual, but certainly, you need a lawyer. Go for it, you may be able to get more compensation than you think for all that you've been put through. You can also go after the person filing for the restraint order falsly. That's a definate

Im being honest when I say this...Call the TV Judge shows...they are always interested in good cases. They all have web sites. Good Luck! Hope you win! Judge Judy, Judge Joe Brown, Judge Mathis and that other lady Judge which I am not even going to attempt to spell

legal battles are long and expensive
only go after it if you think you can cope with the stress and are likely to make a net profit
seek a private solicitor, they can give you a lot more advise than me
you are owed money so you should be paid

You could contact the Ministry of Labour or contact a lawyer to see if you have a case

You need to get a lawyer. Judges aren't there to answer your questions, you need to talk to a lawyer for that.
