Judgment enforcement is the legal process used to compel payment on a court judgment. It involves reviewing the judgment, identifying enforceable remedies, and pursuing them through approved channels.
In California, remedies can include writs of execution, asset levies, wage garnishment, and other lawful methods designed to collect what is owed while respecting exemptions for certain property and income.
A judgment is a court order recognizing a debt and directing payment. Enforcement is the process used to turn that order into actual payment through lawful means.
