Generally until it has been paid in full or the judgment holder agrees to a settlement. The majority of judgments are renewable and therefore can last an indefinite period of time even though there was a time noted in the judgment writ. The original judgment writ can be any period of time from 5 to 20 years pursuant to the laws of the state in which the judgment is granted.

if there is no limit set by the Judgement, appeals are usually around 2 month, or if it is overturned by a higher court. beware of appeal time limits they vary according to different court systems and laws.
If the question refers to the length of time in which a judgment can be filed and executed, that is determined by the laws of the state in which the judgment defendant/debtor resides.

If the question is in regards to the length of time in which a judgment lien is valid that also is regulated by state laws where the judgment debtor resides. Generally judgment liens are valid from 5 to 20 years and the majority are renewable. Since judgments also accrue interest the original debt can greatly increase over time.

That depends on the state in which the judgment is recorded. In NJ the judgment is effective as a lien for 20 years, but it can be renewed for another 20 if necessary.

The time period varies by state. In Massachusetts a judgment is good for 20 years but it must be rerecorded in the land records every six years in order to encumber the debtors real property.
