I don’t know anything about civil suits, but from the outside looking in it seems like it’s very easy for defendants to dodge, delay, withhold payment, hide assets, etc. When a judgement is handed down, how is it enforced? And how often, if ever, are assets seized/frozen?

There’s an old saying – you can’t get blood from a stone. If someone has no money, a judgment is just a piece of paper.
But if they have lots of money, the position of the law is “the law says you must pay them and we’ll make it relatively easy for you.” Including holding people in contempt if they are hiding things.
