The Wisconsin Notice of Entry of Judgment is a document filed with the court to notify all parties involved in a civil lawsuit that a judgment has been entered into the court's records. This document serves as an official notice to all parties involved in the lawsuit, including the plaintiff, defendant, and any other interested parties, that the judgment has been entered and is in effect. There are two types of Wisconsin Notice of Entry of Judgment. The first type is the Notice of Entry of Judgment of Monetary Amount, which is used when a monetary amount is awarded to one party. The second type is the Notice of Entry of Judgment of Non-Monetary Amount, which is used when a non-monetary injunction or order has been imposed by the court.

If the defendant doesn't pay, you may docket the judgment at the Clerk of Courts office. The docketed judgment then acts as a lien on the defendant's real estate owned in Dodge County.

Docketing a judgment means putting the judgment on the formal record of the court. When that occurs, the amount of the judgment becomes a formal "lien" against the real estate the debtor owns in that county for a period of ten years and allows you to take actions to enforce the judgment.
