Judgment enforcement is the legal process used to collect money from someone who has been ordered by a court to pay a debt. It involves locating assets, and applying legal remedies to ensure payment is received.
In California, enforcement actions are governed by statute and local court rules, so working with a local attorney helps navigate deadlines and exemptions effectively.
A judgment is a court order that creates a legal obligation to pay. Enforcement is the next step to convert that order into actual funds through lawful remedies.
Key steps include reviewing the judgment, locating the debtor’s assets, obtaining enforcement orders, and applying collection methods while following exemptions and debtor protections.
This glossary explains common terms used in judgment enforcement in California and helps you understand how the process works.
A writ of execution is a court order directing enforcement officers to collect funds or seize property to satisfy a judgment.
Garnishment is the legal process of directing a portion of a debtor’s wages or bank funds to pay the judgment.
A levy is a method used to seize assets or cash that belong to the debtor to satisfy the judgment.
Exemptions are legally protected amounts or assets that cannot be taken to satisfy a judgment, subject to certain limits.
