If the judgment doesn't show the middle name, is that considered valid?

- State: California
Answer:
A judgment can still be valid even if it only includes a first and last name. As long as the person named in the judgment can be reasonably identified as the party from the lawsuit who owes the debt, omitting the middle name won't invalidate the judgment. If the middle name was left out due to a clerical error, such an error is considered minor and does not affect the judgment's validity.
