If damages, punitive or otherwise, are awarded against us, can they take personal items from our home, or our home to sell as part of the monetary settlement?

Re: Effects of damages ruling on personal property
As a general rule and with some limitations, you are entitled to certain exemptions against a forced sale, attachment or garnishment by a creditor. Not knowing more about the lawsuit or whether any of the personal items were involved in the transactions which are the subject of the lawsuit, I would be unable to give a more definitive opinion. A list of exemptions in Oklahoma is found in the statutes beginning at 31 O.S. � 1. You may review these yourself at the following site: www.oscn.net
