    "Statues of Limitations" for Superior Court In California
    Does anyone know what the "statues of limitations" are for wage garnishments from a judgement in a Superior Court in California? I have a judgement against me that was filed in 1998 & the finance co./lawyer have been able to garnish my wages up until 2006 when I was laid-off from my last job? Now I am not sure if they will be able to do the same with my current employer because they tried to do it with the employer previous to the one they were able to garnish from.

    Hello fartman:

    Depending on the jurisdiction that issued it, judgments last up to 10 years and can be renewed again, and even again. You can check with the courts to see if it HAS been renewed.

    excon is correct a judgement ( which allows them to garnish) lasts normally 10 years, but they can be easily renewed for another 10 if they show the court that they believe they can collect if they do so.

    There is no Statute of Limitations involved here. SOLs refer to the amount of time that someone has to take legal action against someone else. This could be the time limit a creditor has to sue you or a prosecutor has to charge you.

    Since a judgement was already obtained, the key here is the length of time the judgement is good for and how often it can be renewed. California judgements are good for 10 years and can be renewed at least once. So your original judgement hasn't expired yet, which means it can still be used to garnish wages.
