No there isn�t an automatic stay. They can start enforcing that judgment the second it is signed.

Your question, however, does not make sense. If you are being sued you should not be worried about a judgment and should be sure you understand the law regarding answers, affirmative defenses and counterclaims. If you don�t answer you will get a default judgment.

I would strongly recommend that you contact an attorney before you file an answer. If you cannot afford an attorney for a full representation, at least get an attorney to advise you about the law so you can file an appropriate answer and protect your rights.
