Always keep in mind: The only "Debtor's Prison" is the one of your extremely poor credit rating and your inability to move forward when it comes to just about anything that has to do with credit these days...which is everything. Owning a house, a new vehicle, utilities, insurance...your credit rating affects the rate you will pay for everything. Pay your bills on time. That is the best advice.

I assume you were awarded a "Judgment and Decree Quieting Title" or some other order to that effect. There is no way to file a "lien" against the contractor--you already have a civil judgment. I would first contact the contractor licensing authority in your state--they will be able to see if the contractor has a cash bond to attach the judgment to. Second, I would call a real estate or construction law attorney--look for attorneys in the phone book who give "free consultations."
A court order to force the sale of real estate to pay a judgment is typically referred to as a "judicial sale" or "sheriff's sale." This process allows for the property to be sold in order to satisfy the outstanding judgment that the owner owes.

Hope you had a lawyer defending you against the judgment suit. You can use one now. Many, if not most judgments will not be discharged in BK.
No, if you hit the lotto you should be able to pay the judgment in full, I hope? LOL
No. The judgment creditor might take your car and sell it to pay part of the judgment, but your license has no intrinsic value for sale. In addition, the judgment creditor is not permitted to seize your license or ask the state to seize it until you pay the judgment.
There is no statute of limitations on a judgment. The only way a judgment can be satisfied is to pay the debt and then it will be removed from your credit report.
