Equalizing Judgement

[deseraygoddess]

Oregon

I was awarded and equalizing judgment for my part of the equity in our joint home at the time of our divorce. He was ordered to pay me $100/month with a balloon payment at the end of 2 years to pay off this judgment. He also accrues 9% interest per year on any unpaid balance. That was 10 years ago and he never paid a dime. I was told that the judgment becomes a lien and that he cannot, for example, get credit to buy a home until the lien is satisfied. I have three questions:

Is the information in regards to the judgment as a lien correct and how do I verify that?

Is there a statute of limitations on this lien/judgment?

How can I go about collecting the money as he is unwilling to satisfy the judgment in whole or even to make payments?

Thank you.

Bali, please stop giving answers based on your personal opinion rather than on legal fact.

OP, you need to get a consult with a local attorney to get your questions answered.
