Tells the court and others that a judgment has been paid in full or in part. Can be recorded with a county to release a lien against the judgment debtor's land or filed with the Secretary of State to release a lien against the debtor's personal property.
If the defendant does not pay the judgment as ordered, you will have to collect your money through an execution against property or a garnishment. To get an execution against property or garnishment, you will first need to know: Where the defendant lives and works.
Garnishment is a court procedure that allows you to collect the money owed to you by taking in from the judgment debtor's wages, bank account, or another source (such as income tax refunds). To file a garnishment, contact the court clerk for the proper forms. Instructions are provided with the form.
If you want to file a request to seize property, you may use form MC 19, Request and Order to Seize Property. If the court officer is successful in collecting money from the defendant, this process costs you nothing. The defendant is required to pay all court officer expenses as well as the judgment.
A judgment from a Small Claims case expires six years after it is issued. Most other judgments in Michigan expire 10 years after they are issued. You can renew a judgment before it expires by filing a motion to renew a judgment.
