Judgment enforcement is the legal process used to collect a court-ordered amount from a defendant. It includes tools such as wage garnishment, bank levies, property liens, asset discovery, and court actions to ensure payment according to the judgment.
Successful enforcement typically begins with confirming the judgment amount, locating assets, obtaining writs, and coordinating with the court and debtor to schedule payments.
