A supoena is a court order to appear at a hearing, or at trail -- or an order to bring certain documents to the court.
If you have already received a judgment from the court, then you need an order enforcing that judgment -- that's different than a subpoena, which only compels the person to show up.

If you already won the case and have a judgment, you do not need a subpoena. A subpoena is to bring someone to court to testify during the case, not after.
If you have a judgment, you can ask for an order that the person come to a court hearing so that you can ask questions about his bank accounts, property and other information you need to collect your money. This is called an examination of judgment debtor. You can get the forms for this from the court clerk where your judgment was awarded.

First things first you need to learn to spell it and then worry about how to get one. Subpoena is how it is spelled. It comes from the Latin (sub) meaning under and (poena) penalty. Then I would use the spell check on the entire post.
By the way calling a court is usually a good way to start since they are the ones to issue subpoenas.

I subpoena is a guarantee the other party show up at court or a bench warrant gets issued for their arrest. Your lawyer can get one for you.
