A judgment doesn't expire--it is a court order and must be paid. It is different than the usual credit card bill.

It depends on the state and what the judgement is for. If it is for a debt that is not related to child support, most states give a 5-20 year time frame for the debt to be collected. Some states will grant renewal, some won't. Check on the specific laws for your state.

How do you know if a judgment has been renewed by the creditor prior to the SOL expiring?

Define "renewed." Once a judgment of the court has been delivered (unless it is peculiarly time-sensitive) it doesn't need renewal , nor does it expire unless a motion is presented to the court to alter or vacate the original judgment.


When do civil judgments expire?

Judgments are expunged from credit reports after seven years. However, the judgment itself is generally valid until it is paid in full or satisfied in accordance with the judgment holder's agreement. Judgments both domestic and foreign (meaning outside the state of residency not the U.S.) are valid from 5 to 20 years and the majority are renewable. This allows the judgment to be interminable and to be executed at any given time without notification to the person to whom the judgment is against. A judgment that has been perfected as a lien against real property may permanent until paid and may not have to renewed, however in other states it may have a definite term and may only be renewed a limited number of times. As an example, in the State of Florida a judgment lien on real property is good for 10 years and may be renewed for another 10 years. If the underlying judgment is about to expire, the judgment creditor in Florida can sue again to get a new judgment, but that judgment's real property lien(s) does not result in "tacking" to the real property lien(s) under the original judgment, and the loss of lien priority may mean that the judgment creditor doesn't get any proceeds from the property. In addition, the new judgment cannot be used to create a Florida lien on personal property (which are limited to 5 years and 5 years and cannot be renewed any further under any circumstances). State judgment and lien laws are subject to many, many quirks and even experienced attorneys and courts themselves are often confused by them.


Will a judgment stay on after 10 years if you never paid and if not does it come off automatically?

The majority of judgments can be renewed, indefinitely. Some, such as liens on real property are good for twenty years and can also be renewed. The type of judgment and the state laws need to be taken into consideration.
