Once the paper is filed the judgment begins soon after

By obtaining what's known as "revivor" of a judgment in a timely manner, you may be able to keep a small claims judgment alive indefinitely.

Added: In my experience MOST cases were decided immediately while both parties were in court, only very occasionally was a case continued for the judge/magistrate to perform some type of further inquiry into the circumstances before ruling.

On the other hand, if you are asking how long it takes to COLLECT the judgment, that depends on the circumstances of each individual case.
