Judgments and Orders made in family court never expire. The District Attorney can assist you in getting your support order enforced. While the DA has many resources to enforce support judgments, they also have a tremendous caseload and are not always equipped to give your case the personal attention it deserves. We provide aggressive enforcement of support judgments by a team of experienced California attorneys. Money due for spousal and child support is NOT dischargeable in bankruptcy.
Some civil judgments are dischargeable depending on a variety of circumstances.
Representation in a Bankruptcy proceeding is subject to a separate hourly retainer agreement. If the debtor is self-employed, it will not be possible to get a wage assignment. The good news is that there are many other ways to enforce your judgment or court order. We can get a receiver appointed to take over the debtor's business and we can have the court assign virtually any monies owed to the debtor to you instead. We are also able to get liens on the debtor's real or personal property.
