Post-Judgment Motions for Discovery
In order to seek information about a judgment debtor’s assets and income, following the entry of a judgment in the Law Division, Civil Part, a judgment creditor may file a motion for discovery with the court. The motion must state the amount due on a judgment and request that the court issue an order requiring the judgment debtor or any person who has information about his or her assets or income, to answer questions concerning these assets at a place and time specified in the court order. If the person does not comply with the order and fails to appear at the specified time and place, he or she is subject to contempt sanctions enforceable by the court. See R. 4:59- 1(e).
