Judgment enforcement is the legal process used to collect on a court judgment when a debtor does not pay.
The process may involve motions, writs, and methods to reach bank accounts, wages, and property, while following state and federal limits.
A judgment is a court order enforcing payment of a debt. Enforcement actions translate that order into practical steps to recover the amount owed.
Important steps include verifying the judgment, identifying assets, filing writs, and monitoring debtor responses to ensure timely collection.
