JUDGMENT DEBTOR EXAMINATION
What is a Judgment Debtor's Examination?
A judgment debtor's examination is a legal process where a creditor who has won a judgment against a debtor can question the debtor under oath about their finances. This examination helps the creditor identify assets or income sources that can be used to satisfy the judgment.
The debtor is required to answer questions about their employment, bank accounts, property, and other financial matters. Failure to attend the examination can result in penalties, including possible jail time for contempt of court.
