Can I recover a judgment from a debtor located in another state?

Asked a year ago
Yes, you can recover a judgment from a debtor located in another state. However, the process can be complex and time-consuming. Firstly, you will need to register the judgment in the debtor's state by filing an "exemplified" or "certified" copy of the judgment with the appropriate court. This allows you to enforce the judgment in that state. Once registered, you can pursue various methods of enforcement, such as wage garnishment, bank levies, or property liens. It is important to familiarize yourself with the specific laws and procedures of the debtor's state, as they may differ from your own. Additionally, seeking legal counsel or engaging the services of a professional judgment recovery company can greatly assist in navigating the intricacies of cross-state judgment recovery.
