FAQ
The Judgment Creditor (the person who has the judgment) may file a motion to revive the judgment any time within ten (10) years after the judgment becomes dormant. If the court grants the motion the judgment is revived and the Judgment Creditor can take steps to collect the judgment.
Regardless of whether any payments are made, your judgment does not last forever. In Ohio, judgments go “dormant” in 5 years after the latter of: (a) when the judgment was issued, or (b) the last time it was used to create a lien, generate a seizure, obtain a garnishment order, or any other similar effort.
Code § 683.020. A judgment may be revived within twenty years. Colo. R.
If you believe the judgment was satisfied, discharged, or improperly filed, you may have grounds to oppose the motion. You typically have a limited amount of time to respond, so act promptly. File a written response with the court where the motion was filed, outlining any defenses or objections you may have.
In order to vacate a judgment in California, You must file a motion with the court asking the judge to vacate or “set aside” the judgment. Among other things, you must tell the judge why you did not respond to the lawsuit (this can be done by written declaration).
A judgment becomes dormant if no action is taken to enforce it for a period of five (5) years. The Judgment Creditor (the person who has the judgment) may file a motion to revive the judgment any time within the next ten (10) years.
This means that although Ohio's statute of limitations for judgment enforcement is at least fifteen years, in reality the best practice is to act at least once every five years so that your judgment does not become dormant. Often judgments are against more than one judgment debtor.
Your judgment lasts a long time (goes dormant after 5 years of no collections attempts), so time is on your side. Before you collect from the debtor, you need to know whether they have a job, have bank accounts, own real estate, or own property that is attachable.
Short answer: Judgments generally last three to seven years, but they can also be valid for over 20 years in some states.
