Options after judgement has be entered?

[secondtimer]

Can a judgement for the plaintiff be reversed after it is entered?

Just wondering.

if you have a judgment, after your discharge and close of your bk, one can file a motion to vacate most judgments, provided they are not with secured creditors, such as IRS, student loans, etc.

hopefully someone else will chime in, if they have any further info..

Thanks tobee
I guess I assumed since this is the FC forum it was implied the judgement in question was for real estate.

then that would depend..if the judgment is associated with certain costs of a particular piece of real estate and lets use the following examples: is for past HOA fees after the discharge, it's valid, or for city and town charges on the maintenance on one's property, it may very will be a valid judgment that cannot be removed, but must be fought or paid for.

Rule 60 of the Rules of Civil Procedure govern Relief From Judgments. This is the federal version of Rule 60 http://www.law.cornell.edu/rules/frcp/Rule60.htm . Most states have a very similar, if not identical procedural rule.

So, the answer to to your question: It depends. What would be the basis for setting aside the judgment? You would need to meet one of the criteria in 60(b).
