Title

Civil procedure, civil defendants required to inform court of current address and name and address of employer, in contempt for failure to report

Description

Existing law does not require a defendant against whom a civil judgment has been entered to notify the clerk of the court of the current residential address of the defendant and the name and address of his or her current employer until the judgment is satisfied.

This bill would require each defendant in a civil action against whom a judgment has been entered for a monetary amount or who is ordered to do or refrain from doing an act by a court in a civil action to notify the clerk of the court of his or her current mailing and residential address and the name and address of his or her current employer if the party is currently employed until the judgment is satisfied.

This bill would provide that a defendant who fails to provide the clerk with his or her current address would be subject to contempt.
