This alternative method is to file a new lawsuit with a claim for an “Action on a Judgment”. However, unbeknownst to even many seasoned practitioners, an alternative method of renewal may be used if the 10 year period has elapsed and certain other conditions are met. This is clear from Code of Civil Procedure Section 683.020. It is commonly believed that if a judgment creditor misses the 10 year deadline, the judgment is extinguished and is unenforceable. If these forms are timely filed and served, the judgment is renewed for another 10 years. This is done by filing and serving a couple of simple court forms, Application for Renewal of Judgment ( EJ-190) and Notice of Renewal of Judgment ( EJ-195). In order to prevent a judgment from expiring, a judgment creditor should renew the judgment before 10 years runs out. After that date, the judgment is unenforceable. California state court money judgments automatically expire 10 years after they become “final”.
