Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Minnesota
I was wondering if there is a way to fight a judgement made a few years ago? My finace ex girlfriend is trying to get her money. Here is the story he bought a house she took 10,000 dollars out of her savings to pay for the down payment on the house when they broke up after 13 years he sold the house and got enough money to pay off the mortgage. They where never married and he never signed anything saying he would pay her back. She has two kids not by him and expected us to raise the one boy because she coulnt control him I told her no we have two young boys to support and he needs more help then we can offer. So she is mad and demends her money and is threating to go back to courts to have them garnish more money. So we both are wondering what options we have?

If the matter has proceeded to court and a Judgment was entered, then it cannot be collaterally attacked. It can, however, be discharged in a bankruptcy. The time to challenge the matter was at the time the lawsuit was filed seeking the judgment. Once a judgment has been entered, it becomes a lien against real property in any county where it is filed. it can be used to garnish wages and bank accounts as well.
