If the civil warrant was properly served on the defendant and he or she fails to appear on the return date, a “default judgment” may be entered against the defendant. In this case, the court will enter a judgment for the plaintiff on the trial date based on enough evidence from the plaintiff to support the claim.

In Virginia, a judgment is good for 20 years. During that 20 year period, the judgment can be renewed for another 20 years. This means a judgment can stay on record and be good for up to 40 years.
