Judgment liens survive a bankruptcy unless you file a motion to remove the liens under section 522(f) of the Bankruptcy Code. Even then, the court can only strip the lien if it interferes with your right to claim the property as exempt. An exemption is the amount of equity in the property that the law allows you to keep in a bankruptcy. In California, the homestead exemption is $75,000 for most married couples. Suppose you have a condo worth $250,000, mortgages that total $200,000 and a judgment lien for $10,000. The judgment lien interferes with the homestead exemption and could be stripped if the proper motion was filed in a chapter 7 bankruptcy.
