You don't give the circumstances.  I knew of a case where someone wanted to pay the money back to a supermarket, but they refused and went to court.  If you knowingly write a check and know there's no money to cover it, it's punishible by fine and up to 18 months in prison depending on your state.  Is this the first time?  I've seen sheriff's departments with a section just for bad checks.  How did it happen (was it to a court?) and why did they want to make an example out of him?\n\nThe amount may or may not carry weight.  Ask his attorney.

I've seen people walk out of courtrooms as free people with $80,000 owed in back child support - putting them in jail does not erase the child support deficit.  These people game the system - pure and simple.  If he's in contempt, he won't pay, he does not work and sells drugs - contact the DEA or FBI and see if they can garnish his Maxima, his mother's house or anything else.  Any child support arrearage over $10,000 becomes a federal offense - not many people know that....

Contrary to what many people think, a bankruptcy does not automatically void a judgment lien.  If you have a judgment against you and the creditor filed a lien against your home, the lien would survived the bankruptcy unless you filed the proper motion with the bankruptcy court to remove the lien.\n\nMy suggestion is that you see a bankruptcy attorney right away to review your bankruptcy file to see if there is still something you can do about this.  If you did not file the appropriate motion, you might be out of luck.

A Judgement does not ensure payment. \n\nIf the defendant was not criminally convicted the court cannot require him to compensate you, if he was convicted then restitution is most often required.

I do a significant amount of debt collection work in California.  There are only two ways for an attorney to put a lien on your fees:  (1) you voluntarily grant the lien, usually in the form of a deed of trust; or (2) the attorney sues you and then files a judgment lien (called can abstract of judgment) against you home.\n\nBefore a California attorney can sue you for unpaid fees, he/she must offer you fee arbitration.  If the attorney sues you, the attorney have have you served with the lawsuit papers and you will have the opportunity to defend yourself.

You may contact the court and ask for the court to set a debtor hearing to find out what his assets are.  If he failed to appear the judge could issue civil contempt charges against the defendant.\n\nNormally, judgments will affect his credit and hopefully that will make him eventually pay you.

It is usually issued for new charges or failure to appear for a court hearing.

You've received a bunch of bogus responses, now read a response from a bankruptcy attorney.\n\nWhen you file for Chapter 7, the court schedules a meeting of creditors in each case, usually about 30 days after the filing.  The meeting is nick-named the "341 meeting" after the section of the bankruptcy code that requires it.\n\nThe chapter 7 trustee asks you about assets.  In most no asset cases, the trustee's work is concluded at the 341 meeting.  He does not monitor the debtor's post petition income or assets or perform any other "tests" of the debtor's entitlement to a discharge.\n\nThe deadline for a creditor to file and adversary proceeding to object to yo receiving a discharge is 60 days after the date for the first meeting of creditors.  If no creditor objects, then you will generally receive you discharge within few days after the adversary proceeding expires.\n\nMost of the Chapter 7 cases I've handled in the last year take 3 to 3 1/2 month form the date of filing to the date fo the discharge.

Nothing happens.  If they ever wanted to go after you for contempt, they would have to prove you got the summons.

Trustee is the bank or mortgage company\n\nTrustor is the borrower.

You draft a motion for finding of contempt, which is usually in the form of a motion for an order to show cause why the other party should not be held in contempt.  This motion goes to the court who originally issued the order for payment of alimony, which is usually the same court that issued the final divorce decree, of which the alimony is most often a part.\n\nThen the court will order and schedule a hearing, the other party has an opportunity to be heard, and an order will be issued if justified.\n\nIf the other party doesn't show, having been properly served with the motion to show cause/order for hearing, then you'll win by default, and the court will issue a contempt order.\n\nThis is sufficiently complex that it is usually best to have an attorney do the drafting and filing.

If you have already forclosed on the lien and have an order from the court, the terms of the order should spell out the procedure for taking title and possession.  There is in most jurisdictions a procedure for attacking judgment based on fraud or mistake.  Individuals who attempting this usually did not respond in the original proceedings.  If they did participate, then it is very unlikely that the judge will hear their case.  If they did not then they will have to have a very good reason why they did not respond and some type of meritorious defense.  The time this is going to take depends on the jurisdiction you are in,  You may want to call the clerk of court and inquire when the case will likely be called for trial.

The court does not collect judgments, that is up to the person who was awarded a judgment.\n\nThe court is finished with the matter.\n\nYour opponent is in the same category as all other debt collectors, and if you have nothing he can attach, he better be glad that you are willing to make payments, regardless how small, or how often.

No - this is where he goes into open court, and is formally told what he is being charged with.\nThey will ask him if he understands the charges, and if he has a lawyer. If he doesn't have a lawyer, they will appoint a public defender, and give him an appointment with that public defender.\nIf he gets an appointment with a public defender and doesn't keep  it, he will be found in contempt of court.
