Amending Judgment to Change Name of Judgment Debtor
Amending Judgment to Change Name of Judgment Debtor: Sometimes, a judgment debtor changes his or her name after a judgment is entered (e.g., by legal proceedings or merger, or simply by getting married). When this happens, it may be necessary to amend the judgment to reflect the judgment debtor's current name. A California court may use "all the means necessary" to carry its jurisdiction into effect. [Ca Civ Pro § 187]
