Judgment Execution and Bankruptcy in Connecticut
Your Connecticut attorney can and will advise you regarding the court judgment exemptions in the state Connecticut. Your attorney will tell you there are some things the creditor cannot “take” by way of execution of a judgment. There is an extensive list of these items in the Connecticut state statutes. By enactment of laws exempting certain property from court judgment execution the State Legislature is trying to assure that a judgmentdebtor cannot be made completely destitute.
