Before a judgment of one state may be enforced in another state, however, the judgment creditor (the person in whose favor a judgment is entered) must file a new lawsuit in that state to "domesticate" the foreign judgment.
With few exceptions, if the garnishment order originated out-of-state, and that state's court has personal jurisdiction over the employer and has issued proper service, as reported by the National Law Review, the garnishment order is valid and enforceable over the wages owed.
If a judgment is entered against the debtor in one state, but the debtor resides in another state or the debtor's assets are located in another state, then the creditor must transfer the judgment to that state.
Once you have filed an application to register the out-of-state judgment in California, the court will enter the judgment. However, you must also inform the debtor personally that the California court has entered the judgment. This requires serving the debtor with a notice of entry of the California judgment.
A judgment or order may be void if the issuing court lacked subject matter jurisdiction over the action, if the court lacked personal jurisdiction over the defendant, if the judgment or order granted relief that the court had no power to grant, or if the judgment was procured by fraud on the court.
Some possible options to enforce an out-of-state judgment in California include the following: Levying the debtor's assets and personal belongings. Placing a lien on the debtor's property. Levying the debtor's bank account.
A Florida judgment creditor can put a judgment lien on the judgment debtor's tangible personal property and some kinds of intangible personal property. Tangible property means things you can see and touch, like furniture, electronics, artwork, and jewelry.
Once a judgment is entered, creditors have multiple options for collection: Your wages or funds in a bank account may be frozen. You may be required to reveal all assets through a deposition or document request. Creditors can place liens on non-exempt property.
Post-judgment discovery is appropriate as long as the judgment is enforceable.” The Court found that Florida judgments have a twenty year life during which those judgments are enforceable.
The sheriff's department can seize: Personal property: movable things (e.g., cars, horses, boats, furniture, jewelry) owned by the debtor. Real property: land and buildings owned by the debtor.
