Legal Question in Civil Litigation in California

I recently find out that I have a judgment lien against my residencial property. The appeal time period had passed already by the time when I found it out. I have full approval that I was strongfully accused at the beginning of the cliam. The only problem seems to me is that I did not respond to the court in time and it became a default judgment. I want to remove the lien permenantly. Do I have a chance? Fully apprecite your advice.

You still may be able to set aside the default, even if the appeal period has run. Because you did not respond to summons and a default was entered, you technically have no right (yet) to an appeal. You need instead to file a Motion to Set Aside the Default in the trial court.
