How often does a judgement need to be renewed? Can this go on indefinetly until the person has assets worth attaching?

A judgment is good for 10 years and can be renewed every ten years as long as you remeber to do it.. Also, the judgment is accruing interest and is being reported to the credit bureaus.

If the judgement was written properly, it should say that you are entitled to all writs necessary to collect the judgment. You must abstract the judgment in any county in which you has reason to believe the judgment debtor has property/assets.

You have the right to propound discovery in aid of post-judgment collection. He has to answer truthfully, at least at the moment.
