I like this one. But how does a judge assess this to give him a break? Is it easier just to say no - then is there an appeal for the bond? At some point when do we go into foreclosure? :)

Got me. I don't litigate - I don't know whether the judge has any power at all to modify the bond requirement, although they probably could fashion an equivalent remedy using their power to stay enforcement of their orders or some other relief.

Once the 30-day period from the entry of the judgment is up, the state can start seizing assets unless something intervenes - like posting a bond (which protects them from seizure) or an order from some court (either the trial court or the appellate court).
