I have a court ordered judgment against me but if I file bankruptcy now, do I still have to pay?
My husband has a ,000 hospital bill and in the state of California, the spouse is also responsible to foot the bill. So now, we have a court ordered judgment against us. Since our house is now in foreclosure I was planning on filing bankruptcy anyways. Will filing bankruptcy stop this court ordered judgment? If not, can they garnish my wages? -note, My husband lost his job and I am the sole provider for a family of 4

You need to consult a bankruptcy attorney, this is serious business. It makes sense to say that you can include that judgment in your bankruptcy but then again it is a court ordered judgment so I don’t know if they have ways of enforcing it.
