Motion to Enforce Litigant’s (Creditor’s) Rights
If an individual fails to answer or provide complete answers in response to an order for post- judgment discovery, a judgment creditor may make a motion to the court to enforce his or her rights as a creditor. This application notifies the judgment debtor
that an appearance before the court is now required. The purpose of the appearance is to have a judge advise the person that he or she has failed to comply with a prior order of the court and may be punished with further sanctions. The appearance may also provide an opportunity for the development of a mutually agreed upon arrangement for the satisfaction of the debt. If the respondent does not appear on the hearing date, the court may issue an order for arrest as will be discussed below. See R. 1:10- 3.
