A judgment is the final decision made after a lawsuit in court of law. A judgment could be as simple as court order or the final judgement in a criminal case such as sentencing for a guilty defendent.

Monetary judgements are usually collected though liens. When a plaintiff wins a judgement in court then he has the right to put a lien on a posession or a property and enforce payment through the liens. This is one method IRS or other entities use by puttin a tax lien which is registered and shows up on public records and background checks.

There are several kinds of judgments such as:

Consent decree: when parties agree then a judgement is entered based upon the agreement called consent decree.

Declaratory judgment: civil cases use declaratory judgements to define the duties of each party involved in teh case

Default judgment: is a judgement in the favor of the plaintiff since the other party has not responded or shown up.

Summary judgment: when a court case has a final determination of the case it is called the summary judgement.

Vacated judgment: when the court of appeals reverses a prior judgement it is called a vacated judgement.

Release of Judgement: When a monetary judgement is satisfied or paid in full then a request can be made for release of judgement which basically vacates the original judgement and releases any liens
