Judgment enforcement is the process of turning a court ruling into actual payment.
It may involve locating assets, requesting writs, and using tools provided by California law to collect what is owed.
Post-judgment remedies are steps you take after a judgment to obtain payment or other relief, including garnishments, levies, and asset discovery.
The process typically starts with evaluating the judgment, identifying available assets, and pursuing appropriate remedies such as wage garnishment, bank levy, or property levy, guided by court procedures.
Key terms you may encounter include judgment, garnishment, writ of execution, debtor examination, and levy.
