Judgment enforcement is the legal process used to collect on a judgment when a debtor does not pay.
Key tools include writs of execution, garnishments, and post-judgment remedies designed to maximize recovery while staying compliant with California law.
A judgment is a court’s formal ruling that a debt is owed. Enforcement is the next step to turn that ruling into actual payment.
The essential steps typically include confirming the judgment, locating assets, filing a writ of execution, and pursuing collection in a timely, lawful manner.
