After a party successfully obtains a judgment, they must find a way to collect. A judgment debtor, the losing party in a lawsuit, does not always satisfy the judgment right away. There are even cases where judgment debtors avoid paying which forces a judgment creditor, the prevailing party in a lawsuit, to seek enforcement of the judgment.

Judgment collection, or judgment enforcement, is the process of using legal strategies to collect a judgment. These strategies include garnishments, liens, charging orders, judicial foreclosures, and other processes to satisfy a judgment owed by a judgment debtor. This process requires knowledge of the required forms, notices, and procedures of judgment enforcement as some court rules require strict compliance.
