Judgment is a court decision that settles a dispute between two parties by determining the rights and obligations of each party. Judgments are classified as in personam, in rem, or quasi in rem. Judgments are usually monetary, but can also be non-monetary, and are legally enforceable.
If the defendant responds to the lawsuit, then it can take months or even years, to finally get to a judgment – depending on how hard the defendant fights. If the defendant does not answer the lawsuit and we secure a default judgment, we must wait an additional 30 days before taking further actions.
