Judgment enforcement is the process of turning a court order into actual collection of money or assets from the debtor through lawful procedures.
Key steps include locating assets, obtaining writs or levies, and pursuing remedies such as wage garnishment or bank levies when appropriate.
A judgment is a court ruling that confirms who owes money and how much. Enforcement actions are the legal steps used to collect that money from the debtor.
The process typically involves validating the judgment, identifying available assets or income, and applying remedies authorized by law with court oversight to ensure compliance.
Glossary terms explain common tools and remedies used in judgment enforcement in California.
A writ of execution is a court order directing the seizure of assets or property to satisfy a judgment.
Garnishment is an enforcement method where a portion of the debtor’s wages or bank account funds are directed to satisfy the judgment.
Asset discovery is the process of locating debtor assets that may be used to satisfy a judgment, including bank accounts, real estate, or business assets.
A judgment lien places a claim against the debtor’s property, making it harder for them to sell or refinance until the judgment is paid.
