Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Nevada

2002 Judgement awarded against me in Colorado for an unsecured debt. 2003 purchased a home in Nevada and recorded a Homestead on it. 2008 an Abstract Judgement recorded against my home in Nevada. After research, I've found that the Abstract Judgement was not domesticated in NV court prior to recorded with County Clerk. Do I have legal grounds to file a motion to Avoid Abstract Judgement? Or when will the SoL expire? Thanks.

Your attorney can explain further.
