Lots of possibilities, but some common one are:
- A court order can be obtained to garnish the wages of the defendant. Based on the amount and how much the defendant makes, a percentage of each pay check will be sent to the court to pay the debt.
- Any assets or property owned by the defendant can be confiscated and put up for sale to cover the amount owed.
- The defendant can be charged with contempt of court and jailed for not obeying a valid court order.

∙ 14y ago"Guilty" is a criminal verdict. In a civil case, a judgment is entered against a party.

Even if a plaintiff were to secure a legal judgment against an insolvent defendant, the defendant's lack of funds would make the satisfaction of that judgment difficult, if not impossible, to secure.
