Hello Soc,

   The state is Missouri.


This might not set well with you but would appreciate your answer. In a modification action a little over 3 years ago I had a judgement against me to pay $1000.00 of the ex'es atty. fees. To date I have paid the nice man nothing. He has attempted garnishment (already garnished to the max per law), and he has this past summer attempted to seize my bank accounts (unsuccessful as all of the deposits originated from federal payroll deposit and were exempt?????). I just went to the court house and looked at my file. Three years have now passed. No furhter entries have been made.

1. Doesn't the lawyer have to 'revive' (or something) the judgement every few years for it to remain enforceable?

2. How long is a judgement valid until a 'statute of limitations' runs out and he can no longer collect.


I really hate the guy, he was THE WORST snake of a lawyer I have been up against thus far!  :)

Yes, but the time limit is usually 10-20 years. Depends on law of state involved.
