Civil cases typically involve disputes between individuals or organizations, resulting in monetary damages or injunctions, while criminal cases are initiated by the government to address violations of criminal law.

If you can't pay the judgment, it will continue to accrue interest at a rate that is generally established by the state legislature each year. State law will provide that the judgment is enforceable for a fixed number of years, the number being established by the statutes of the state in which the judgment is entered. There will also usually be a process by which the judgment creditor can renew the judgment's life for one or more successive periods.
