To take out a judgment against someone, you typically need to file a lawsuit in court, provide evidence to support your claim, and go through the legal process. If the court rules in your favor, a judgment will be issued against the defendant. You may then need to take steps to enforce the judgment, such as garnishing wages or placing a lien on property.
