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?

If the court hasn’t received your payment for a civil suit, they can do things such as send your debt to Tax Intercept, where they will intercept any money you would get in a tax return and put that towards what you owe, or garnish your wages. They could also send the debt to collections and let the collections agencies hound you for payments, and your credit score will suffer.
