It depends on the laws of the jurisdiction and the facts of the case.
Judges who preside over a divorce case can take and redistribute a defendant's interest in property, can take a portion of the defendant's income for child support, can take the defendant's right to visit with their children under certain circumstances and can also take the defendant's liberty if they refuse to pay child support.
Child Support Enforcement can take such things as a tax refund, the right to drive a vehicle and can garnish wages.
