That's a question that you should take up with the attorney who is representing you. Your attorney will likely want to make sure that the judgment is both final and definitive so that you aren't held liable for a wrongful seizure if the judgment is reversed on appeal or if there are grounds for a new trial. Clients should always remember that getting a judgment against someone doesn't mean you're going to be able to collect it. In many cases it's entirely possible that the defendant just does not have the money or assets.  It is not unusual for a defendant to resist paying a money judgment, especially to pay the attorney who just beat him in court. When that happens your attorney will advise you of the steps (and costs) involved in collecting from the defendant and you will have to decide whether it is worth the time and expense.
