We would need a lot more information to fully answer your question. If you mean is there a time limit on the amount of time a judgment is good and thus how long a person has to collect on a judgment, this depends upon the state in which the judgment was issued. Judgments do not stay valid forever. In Arizona, the time limit is seven years. To be sure, you need to check with the state in which the judgment was entered.
