Judgment enforcement is the legal process used to collect money after a court has found in your favor.
Remedies include wage garnishment, bank levies, asset seizure, liens, and other lawful steps designed to maximize recovery.
In California, a judgment is a court order stating that the other party owes money. Enforcement actions are the tools used to collect that amount when a debtor does not pay promptly.
Successful enforcement starts with confirming the judgment details, locating assets, and selecting the appropriate remedies based on the debtor’s finances and the court’s rules.
