I'm curious how cross-border civil-case lawsuits work between individuals. Can the Reads just ignore the lawsuit? If so, will they get arrested next time they try to enter the US or do they get extradited upon conviction?
There are ways to serve defendants internationally in a civil case. Once served, you must win your case, get a judgment, then take your judgment into the country of residence of the defendants and get it entered there. You cannot be arrested for a civil judgment. It's all about money.
