Judgment enforcement is the legal process used to collect on a court‑awarded judgment through methods such as wage garnishment, bank levies, and property liens.
The appropriate strategy depends on the debtor’s assets, the type of judgment, and California’s enforcement rules.
A judgment is a court order recognizing that money is owed after a lawsuit. Post‑judgment enforcement translates that order into actual payment.
Key steps include locating the debtor’s assets, filing enforcement motions, and monitoring payments until the judgment is satisfied.
