If this is something a judge decided recently, within the last month, you need to talk to an attorney as soon as possible, because you might very well have an appeal worth filing. I don't know why the judge said the statute of limitations didn't apply, and I think that needs a closer look, based on the detailed facts of your case.
Otherwise, your only option might be bankruptcy. A judgment, in New Jersey, is good for 20 years.
