How are the judgements on the "Judge" TV shows enforced?

Asked by kelly (1918points) May 4th, 2010

Judge Mathis, Judge Judy, The People’s Court etc hear small claims suits and render judgement. Parties to the suit are from all over the country, so how and where are the judgements enforced? Usually the Judge’s Order is filed with the circuit clerk in the county where the suit is heard. Have any Flutherites been on or know someone who has been a party to one of these TV small claims shows? If so, what conditions does the show put on paying the judgement, if any?
