A judgment lien requires a lawsuit, and a lawsuit can take anywhere for a couple of months if the party defaults to a couple of years if the person contests the lawsuit and the matter has to be taken to trial. If he or she appeals, there can be anywhere from another 1 to 2 years added on to the delay.
