In reply to the discussion: Lawyer for E. Jean Carroll says Trump wants to delay $5 million payment in sex abuse, defamation case [View all]melm00se
(5,191 posts)36. Domesticating a judgment,
when you have a PITA professional dirtbag...errrrrr...debtor, is extremely difficult.
PITA debtors dispute the validity of the judgment, which, when facing an unfriendly judge, essentially makes you relitigate the whole case. Appeals tend to go nowhere, as Florida is considered one of the (if not the) most debtor-friendly states in the country. Exacerbating it even more so is when the debtor has the assets to fund such a fight.
Been there, done that, and have the t-shirt.

It's not the money so much as the fact that the judgment is irrevocably final.
