Collect Your Out-Of-State Debt In California

Enforcing your out-of-state judgment is a two-step process:

First: Domesticating your judgment

Attorney Bryan Grundon will file an application at the Superior Court to have the judgment recognized. The application includes a statement regarding the amount of the unpaid debt and any interest, an authenticated copy of the sister-state judgment, and identifying information about the debtor.

The court clerk will then issue a judgment for the amount of the debt, plus interest and the costs associated with having the domestication.

We then serve the sister-state judgment on your debtor. The debtor has 30 days to contest the domestication. After the 30-day period is over, we can begin the involuntary collection process or otherwise known as the beginning of the enforcement of sister-state judgments.
