No, but you CAN be compelled to answer post-judgment discovery about your assets. This can be in the form of written questions and requests for documents, and/or a deposition, where you appear before a court reporter and give sworn testimony. If you fail to comply with the discovery requests you could be held in contempt and jailed, though that's a last resort. |
