Asset	Any item of property that has monetary value.
Bank Levy	Enforcement of a judgment by resort to the judgment debtor's checking or savings account at a bank, savings association, credit union, or other financial institution. For this to occur, a Writ of Execution and the judgment debtor's written instructions must be obtained from the court and delivered to a sheriff or other enforcement officer.
Cross Claim	A claim of the defendant against the plaintiff. A claim of the defendant is usually heard and decided at the same hearing as the plaintiff's claim. It need not relate to the plaintiff's claim. Also called a counter claim.
Claimant	A person (including both a plaintiff and a defendant) who asserts a claim.
Court Costs	Official fees and charges that a party pays to file a case or obtain documents needed to enforce a judgment. The judgment may require a losing party to pay costs incurred by the prevailing party, but only if they (a) are of a kind allowed by law, (b) were necessarily incurred, and (c) are reasonable in amount. Allowable costs do not include claims for travel expenses or loss of time to prepare for or attend the hearing.
Damages	Money claimed or awarded in court, equal to the dollar value of the claimant's losses.
Declaration	A written statement made "under penalty of perjury" and signed by the person making the statement.
Default	If a party to an action does not attend the hearing it is said that the party is in "default." If the judge determines that the non-appearing party was properly notified of the action, the judge may consider the plaintiff's evidence and decide the case in the defendant's absence. The judgment in such a case is sometimes called a "default judgment."
Default Judgment	A decision entered when one party doesn't attend the Small Claims court hearing. The other party must still prove his or her claim.

Enforce	To use legal procedures to obtain money to pay a judgment, as by a bank levy or wage garnishment.
Exempt Assets	Property and income of a judgment debtor that is legally protected from being forcibly taken to pay a judgment debt.

Grace Period	A time stated in a contract in which a late payment or performance may be made without penalty. Often after the grace period ends without payment or performance by the person who is supposed to pay, the contract is suspended.

Mediation	A process in which a neutral third person - a "mediator" - helps the parties to a dispute to discuss their problem and work out their own mutually acceptable solution.

In some counties, marshals and constables enforce court judgments.
