This guide covers the entire post-judgment phase, for creditors trying to collect and for debtors trying to keep what the law lets them keep. It begins with finality — stays, bonds, and the bankruptcy stay — then moves through post-judgment discovery and the debtor's examination. It sets out each collection remedy in detail, with the federal caps on wage garnishment, the automatic protection for directly deposited federal benefits, judgment liens on real property, writs of execution, turnover orders, charging orders, and receiverships. It treats exemptions as a system, explains why they are almost never self-executing, and identifies the deadlines that forfeit them. It covers priority among competing claimants, domestication across state lines, fraudulent transfer doctrine, renewal, and satisfaction. It closes with collectability analysis, business debtors, and a reference section.
