Is a "default" judgement for a civil case only good for the state that is given? Since I am in Calfornia not Virginia does that judgement really mean anything? Can the state of Virginia try to garnish my accounts seeing as I am not in that state and have not been in over ten years
Somebody can take a judgment from one state and register it for enforcement in another. If the subject of the judgment objects to registration, there will normally be a court hearing where that person can argue why the judgment should not be enforced.
How often do they transfer judgements over state lines? Is this a common practice
It's entirely up to the person who holds the judgment. It's not unusual.
as a member of a "band" general partnership that has its own tax ID number but as a signer my social was still conected on the file (somewhere?) would the band bank account be available to be locked by creditor that had a judgement against me? And if it does how can I protect the band account?
