What is the name of your state? Maryland
"The parties to this action consent to the entry of a judgment in this action against the Defendants...in favor of the Plaintiffs..."
This judgment occurred on 12/19/05 and the defendant was to pay $200/month, or a total of $22,000 for money previously loaned to them by the plaintiff. The lawyer for the plaintiff signed the judgment on 12/19/05, however the lawyer for the defendant did not sign it until 1/4/06. It was recorded on 1/5/06. The defendants filed for bankruptcy (on 4/4/06 - 90 days after their lawyer signed the judgment) allowing them to not pay the plaintiff.
What is the effective date of the consent judgment? The day it was decided on verbally in court or the day it was recorded?
To be more specific...Maryland law states that the effective date is the date recorded in the court house...however, in child suport cases, payments must begin from the date the judgment is issued. Is there another exception to this rule pertaining to Bankruptcy?
