It really depends on how the contract is written and what it is for and it depends on how the judgement is written and the time period it covers. For example, if you have an obligation to pay a fee every month and you reneg on that obligation half way in to the agreement, then you can be sued for the money owed that you did not pay this month and not for the money you owe for next month UNTIL you breach the agreement that month. Do you understand what I mean? So someone will need to read the agreement and the judgement to determine how to proceed from this point on. Good luck to you.
