A quick definition of postjudgment discovery:

Postjudgment discovery is a process of finding out information that was previously unknown after a judgment has been made in a legal case. It is usually done to determine the assets of the judgment debtor or to obtain testimony for future proceedings. This type of discovery is conducted after a judgment has been rendered and is also known as posttrial discovery. The primary discovery devices used in legal cases are interrogatories, depositions, requests for admissions, and requests for production. The purpose of discovery is to reveal facts and develop evidence before a trial to prevent the parties from surprising each other with evidence at trial.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Postjudgment discovery is the process of finding or learning something that was previously unknown after a judgment has been rendered. It is usually conducted to determine the nature of the judgment debtor's assets or to obtain testimony for use in future proceedings.

Example: After winning a lawsuit against a company, the plaintiff may conduct postjudgment discovery to find out if the company has any assets that can be used to satisfy the judgment. This may involve requesting financial records, bank statements, and other documents that can help determine the company's financial situation.

Postjudgment discovery is an important tool for enforcing judgments and ensuring that the winning party is able to collect what they are owed. By conducting postjudgment discovery, the winning party can uncover assets that may have been hidden or overlooked during the trial, and use this information to pursue further legal action if necessary.

Nah, the fucked up thing about therapists is they try and make you think your parents are your enemy 99% of the time and really they should be telling you that your parents have almost no effect on the rest of your life. If they can get you to keep focusing on your parents they can keep making money.
