A judgment is a court order requiring a party to pay money or perform a defined action. Enforcement actions are methods used to satisfy that obligation when a debtor does not comply.
Key steps include confirming the judgment, locating debtor assets, choosing appropriate remedies, and monitoring compliance until payment is received.
Important terms related to judgments and enforcement are described below to help you understand the process.
