Once a judgment is obtained, how long before I get my money?

A judgment gives the winning party a lien against the losing party, but the judgment and lien do not guarantee voluntary payment. The winning party may pursue collection through various legal forms of execution, but these can be complicated. The party may want to contact an attorney, as there could be more options available.
