Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in California
How long is long enough?
A judgement lien was filed against me in 1993 for a debt that was given to my ex-spouse in a divorce decree dated 1990. In May 1999, my bank accounts were levied upon after all these years. My question is: How long are these people able to continue to do this before statute of limitations is up? Also, what is my recourse? I read in Civil Code 697.710, I believe, that they only had 5 years from the date of filing to execute the judgemet, is this correct?

No, they have 5 years from the date of filing to bring the case to trial but there is no limit on the time to collect a judgment.
