Is judgment proof legal in Kentucky?
"Judgment-proof" means that even if a plaintiff obtains its civil judgment against its defendant, the defendant has no assets from on which the court can levy in proceedings in aid of execution to satisfy the judgment. It also generally implies that as a result the defendant is not worth being sued, because the possibility of ultimately recovering a money judgment is nil.Added: There is no such legal principle as judgment proof. It is not a defense to a lawsuit. One can obtain a judgment against a defendant, regardless of the ability to collect the judgment. Plaintiffs often choose to proceed against defendants who appear to be judgment proof because they believe that the defendant will eventually have assets or income against which to collect.You are correct. The status of being judgment-proof is as a matter of fact and not a matter of law. Which is why I used the word "implied" and not the word "holds". Therefore, it is legal to the extent that as a matter of fact the judgment cannot be satisfied.

Can a request for default judgment be filed if there was no summons?
There can be no judgment of any sort unless the lawsuit has been filed and "heard" in accordance with state statutes. Often the defendant debtor believes they have not been legally served because the civil summons was not physically placed in their hands. In the majority of U.S. states that is not a requirement. A civil summons can be hand delivered in several ways (process server, courier such as FedEx, etc.) or it can be sent as registered mail via U.S.Postal service. The premise for such action is that a "reasonable attempt" needs to be made to inform the defendant that he or she is being sued. If the named person cannot be found and/or he or she refuses delivery of said summons the lawsuit will go forward under the default laws. In such instances a default judgment can legally be filed. The defendant does have the right to contest the validity of said judgment to have it quashed. But unless it can be proven that the required notification procedures were not followed the judgment will stand.
