Question Details:
Hi. I am a Maryland barred attorney -- the time frame in this state is 12 years (not 20), but it is possible to "renew" the judgment if you take appropriate steps. Note that a judgment creditor (the person who won and got the judgment) has a legal right to collect post-judgment interest in this state as well. I echo the comments of the CT lawyer above - you may wish to talk to a licensed attorney in this state about post-judgment collection options.
I am a lawyer in CT and practice in this area of the law. in most states a judgment is good for 20 years. i suggest that you hire a lawyer to engage in post judgment collection actions such as executing on a bank account, attaching property, or subpoening the officer of the company to court to find out where the money is.
