This answer depends on the judgment and whether the person holding the judgment will pursue it. There are some debts that will not be discharged upon filing for bankruptcy and these include (but are not limited to):
In addition, a creditor may ask a court to determine that some debts are non-dischargeable, including:
California law mandates an Acknowledgment of Assignment of Judgment be acknowledged before a notary public. (See Calif. Code of Civil Procedure Sec. 673.)
California law mandates an Acknowledgment of Assignment of Judgment be acknowledged before a notary public. (See Calif. Code of Civil Procedure Sec. 673.)
Assuming you mean a payment plan for a debt that a creditor got a judgment for in civil court, and you are asking if you can file Chapter 7 (and qualify to do so), yes, you can, and the repayment agreement then is subject to the bankruptcy court automatic stay.
It depends on what the civil judgment was for. For example, judgments for medical or credit card collections may normally be discharged by any chapter of bankruptcy. But, if for example the civil judgment was for damages caused from drinking and driving, or for an intentional tort, such as battery or conversion, (and yes I'm talking about the civil actions that may be brought by individuals for these acts, not the criminal acts which may be brought by the State), then the civil judgment may or may not be dischargeable by chapter 7, and filing chapter 13 may be more adviseable. You'd need to do some research or to speak to an attorney in your jurisdiction to know for sure.

Yes, a civil judgment is good for 10 years from the date of the judgement. Once that 10 years is up they can renew the judgment again for another 10 years... After that 10 years its a dead judgment.
File a Motion to Quash This action relates to the validity of the judgment, non appearance is not a valid defense for having a judgment voided. If the defendant does not appear he or she loses by default and a judgment is entered in favor of the plaintiff.
In Illinois, each child support payment is a civil judgment.
No. A judgment must be renewed within 10 years under California Code of Civil Procedure, section 337.5 or it becomes unenforceable. However, if a defendant failed to timely raise this statute of limitations in defense, it could be waived.
