How Judge Jackson decides
Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.
What persuades
A perfected attorney lien tied to identified domestic-relations proceeds supported limited stay relief as to those assets.
“Accordingly, Creditor’s Motion for Stay Relief is sustained as to only the items listed in paragraphs 3 and 7, namely the retirement accounts and property division alimony.”
Procedural preferences
The court favored nonmonetary sanctions calibrated to deter repeat conduct.
“Whenever possible, nonmonetary sanctions are preferred over monetary sanctions.”
Cautions
Plan language that misstates settled nondischargeability rules can result in sanctions and corrective orders.
“The Court hereby admonishes Mr. Johnson for his conduct in this case. If such violation occurs again, the Court will consider monetary sanctions.”
