Discussion

The Motion is brought pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure sections 708.030 and 2030.290. Enforcement of judgment laws provide that the judgment creditor may demand that the judgment debtor respond to interrogatories to aid in the enforcement of the money judgment. (Code Civ. Proc., Sec. 708.020, subd. (a) .) The judgment debtor must respond within 30 days of its service. (Code Civ. Proc., Sec. 708.020, subd. (a); Code Civ. Proc., Sec. 2030.260.) Judgment Creditor served Judgment Debtor with Post-Judgment Interrogatories on June 17, 2026. (Motion, Bell Decl., Exh.

C, p. 4.) Based on service by electronic mail, responses were due by July 21, 2026. (Code Civ. Proc., Sec.Sec. 2030.260, 1010.6, subd. (a)(4)(B).) As of the filing of the instant Motion on July 22, 2026, Judgment Debtor had not served responses or otherwise communicated with Judgment Creditor. (Motion, Bell Decl., P.P.5-6.) Accordingly, Judgment Creditor is entitled to an order compelling Judgment Debtor to serve verified responses without objections to the Post-Judgment Interrogatories.
