Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Mississippi
Non Resident Judgement
I am involved in a civil suit in MS in relation to a home sale 5 years ago. As a non MS resident, if I should have a judgement awarded against me in that state, is it enforceable and collectable in the state of AL?

Yes. Our U.S. Constitution guarantees its citizens the right to follow a defendant to another state and still collect on a judgment.

Yes, the judgement would be enrolled in Alabama. It would then constitute a judgement lien and could be pursued just like any other judgment there.
