Sounds like a perfect excuse for them to all fuck around and endlessly point the finger at one another and whine about things not being fair.
So (assuming non payment, which seems reasonable), the winning side can just start putting liens on property and freezing bank accounts as they see fit among the liable people, up to the judgment amount?
Not really, kind of the opposite actually. As in there’s no fucking around because the judge already said each of them can be forced to cough it all up.
If they don’t pay on time then yes, the court can take liens on whichever assets are the easiest to get at.
One, the kids are also barred for a period of time.

There is going to be eyes and ears on everything Trump attempts to do to weasel money around, especially given how often Trump shifts funds illegally to maintain his grift.

Seems to me that the news coverage of this is mostly misleading.
Thanks.
Ah, I should read better - thanks!
Ivanka a defendant, she testified but that’s it.
