Yes. Your ownership status is just the same as if you had bought the property. Any legal judgment against you can attach to the property.
Judgments are normally filed in the clerk's file at the completion of a civil suit. Clerk's files are public record and open for viewing. Go to the clerk of court for the court in which the judgment you are looking for was filed to see the file, including the judgment.
A lawsuit must be filed against the debtor/defendant in the court of jurisdiction. If the plaintiff wins the suit a judgment will then be entered against the defendant. Judgments can be executed against the property or wages of the debtor in accordance with the laws of the state in which the judgment is awarded.
Deficiency judgments are fairly common everywhere on large houses. The more the amount you owe on a house, the more you are likely to have a judgment filed against you.
Satisfied judgments do not get removed from a consumer's credit report until 7 years from the date they were filed. You might get lucky and the judgment be shielded from view 7 years after the original legal action was filed (once the satisfaction shows). It is possible, and legal, for the satisfaction to show for 7 full years from it's filing date (which may be different from the judgment filing date).
Your answer depends on where the judgement was filed. That authority will give you the answer you seek.
Some judgments will be removed according to the seven year time limit some will not. Many judgments are renewable, if that is the case the judgment can stay or be reentered on a CR. The "filed" indicates when the judgment became valid, and that is the date from which the seven year time frame usually begins.
If there was no final judgment there was no divorce.
The creditor must sue in court and obtain a judgment in their favor. The court will issue a judgment lien that can be filed in the land records.
If it was not paid in full or settled, the judgment may have been renewed by the judgment holder. Most judgments are renewable and can be kept on a credit report for an undetermined amount of time.
No. Judgments can only be granted by the court, after a lawsuit has been filed and won.
The only option for stopping a lawsuit and/or obtaining relief of judgments is filing bankruptcy. Otherwise, once a creditor has filed a lawsuit against you and you receive notice of the hearing, or recovered a judgment against you, you cannot stop the process.
Yes.
