Re: Can jewelry and car be taken by the court to pay a Divorce Judgement?
It depends on the proceedings and the character of the property. If you are in the divorce proceeding, and the property is his separate property, then it cannot be taken to satisfy a community debt. You can be awarded a judgment against him, and in enforcement proceedings go after all of his non-exempt property. If it is community property then it can be sold to satisfy a community debt. Hopefully that answers your question, although again, depending on the facts of your case, there are several possible outcomes. TCL
