Judgment Debtor

Judgment debtor refers to a person or entity against whom a monetary judgment has been issued by a court. The judgment debtor is legally obligated to pay the awarded amount to the judgment creditor. If the debtor fails to satisfy the judgment, the creditor may take legal steps to collect the debt, such as garnishing wages, seizing assets, or placing liens on the debtor’s property. The judgment debtor remains in this status until the debt is fully paid or otherwise resolved.
