It depends on who filed the order and what the subject is about.

Usually a show cause hearing requires a good argument to support or deny what the hearing is about. You may need evidence and testimony to help support that argument however. And what that is depends on what you have or can get on the issue.

But generally a show cause hearing is where you or your opponent must show a good enough reason to the court so they can make a decision. Best way to think of it is to keep this in mind "Show Cause Why this court ..." the issue can be anything connected to the case and/or decisions made by the court. There are rules that govern this but it is far too complicated to go into here.

Is a judgment against the person or property?

The judgment is against the person, not the property.


My landlord took me to court 7 years ago He told me to move out or i will have to pay 4000 So why after 7 years he's garnishment my check?

It's possible that the court issued a judgment against you and your landlord is now enforcing that judgment by garnishing your wages. Judgments do not have an expiration date, so your landlord can still pursue collection years later. It's important to review the court documents to understand the specifics of the judgment and how the amount has increased over time due to interest and fees.


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.


How do you take out a judgment against someone?

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.


How long does a judgment stay against someone?

The length of time a judgment stays against someone varies by jurisdiction and type of judgment. In general, a judgment can remain on a person's credit report for 7 years or longer until it is satisfied or discharged. It may also be renewable or extendable based on the laws of the specific jurisdiction.
