Lawyers from Emery Celli Brinckerhoff Abady Ward & Maazel attempting to collect a $10 million civil rape judgment against Oscar-winning filmmaker Paul Haggis may restrain the funds of his ex-wife, a Manhattan judge has ruled.

Haggis was found liable of raping Haleigh Breest by a jury in November, but has repeatedly claimed he has no funds to pay the $10 million judgment or associated millions in attorneys fees.
