[pane title=”Are all judgments worth pursuing?” background_image=””]
Unfortunately, no. Some judgments are either unenforceable or not worth the effort at this time. For example:
-
If the debtor is presently incarcerated or recently released it is unlikely they will have assets or income.
-
If the debtor has filed for bankruptcy after you obtained the judgment it is likely no longer enforceable.
-
If the amount is just too small. How small is too small? Typically anything under $3,000.
-
If the judgment has expired. Judgments have a shelf life in California of 10 years. They can be renewed. But they are not renewed before they expire they
