Judgment enforcement is the set of steps taken after a court issues a money judgment to collect the owed amount.
It may involve writs, garnishments, or asset seizures, depending on the debtor and the available assets.
A judgment is a court order requiring a debtor to pay money. Enforcement provides lawful methods to obtain payment when the debtor does not comply after entry of the judgment.
Key elements include verifying the judgment, identifying attachable assets, applying appropriate enforcement tools, and monitoring progress until funds are recovered, settled, or the case is resolved.
Glossary terms common in post‑judgment enforcement include Judgment, Writ of Execution, Garnishment, and Levy, each describing a different means to recover funds under California law.
