What is the name of your state? Arizona
About 18 months ago a judgment was made against my brother in an Arizona Small Claims Court for approximately $2500. He had moved out of state (to Nevada) due to his divorce and was not able to appear at the court on the day scheduled. Immediately after the judgment was made, the court issued a civil arrest warrant which was valid for one year. After the first year was up (and my brother had still not paid the amount of the judgment), the man who had originally filed the complaint went to the court and had the warrant extended for another year. My question is this: How long can the man who filed the claim keep renewing the warrant? My brother has only been to Arizona a couple of times since his divorce and does not plan on moving back. Is there a statute of limitations on a civil judgment in Arizona?
Thank you for your help.
