Quote: “…There are limits to how much of someone’s wages could be garnished in such a judgment because he denied having any sources of income or property from which the judgment could be collected,” said Los Angeles-based top family law attorney Christopher Melcher, who handles high-net-worth divorces in California.

“The judgment was really a debtor’s prison,” Melcher said. “It was to haunt him for the rest of his life, to keep him from ever having anything, making anything, without fearing that Fred Goldman would be right there to collect that dollar.”
