Will bankruptcy discharge judgment?
Ask a Lawyer
Question
Country: United States of AmericaState: CaliforniaI am scheduled to go to trial in February. The party I am prosecuting owes me at least $150,000.00. But, I am afraid that if I win, he will declare bankruptcy and I will never see my money. But, I know for a fact that he owns a house worth at least $600,000. What is the process like when this occurs and what are the chances of getting the money that would be owed to me?
