California  |  Bankruptcy

I would suggest meeting with a qualified, experienced bankruptcy attorney sooner than later. You do not necessarily want the judgment to be entered, as there is no waiting period for enforcement of the judgment. There is no strategic reason to delay based on the limited facts you posted. Once you meet with a bankruptcy attorney, there may be other reasons you need to delay filing. Again, it is definitely in your best interests to meet with someone right away.
