Moving after judgment

[eli4192]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? IN
If you have a judgement against you and then you move to a state that doesn't permit garnishment, what happens? Does the judgement just stay there till you move back to a state that permits it? How do you find out which states don't permit garnishments?

 

[ecmst12]

The judgement can be domesticated in your new state and they can pursue whatever collection methods are allowed in your new state.

If you move out of state, they will have to domesticate. This will likely restart SOL. If the state you are moving to does not allow wage garnishment, they may use other collection methods like bank levy, seizing non-exempt property, etc. It is best to negotiate a payment plan with the person who holds the judgment.
