Colorado Judicial Branch has compiled all forms required for Extending the Expiration Date of a Judgment.
If you are getting close to the date that your judgment will expire, and you have not been able to collect the money, you can ask the court to extend the expiration date. You must do this before your judgment expires.
You will file your paperwork with the same court where the case awarding you a money judgment is located. You will also use the same case number.
Use the forms link above to download and complete JDF 113 Motion for Revival of Judgment, JDF 114 Notice to Show Cause for Revival of Judgment, and JDF 125 Order for Revival of Judgment. For detailed instructions on completing these forms, review JDF 112 Instructions for Reviving a Judgment.
If you are owed money, you are known as the Judgment Creditor. The person or business that owes you money is known as the Judgment Debtor.
When you fill out JDF 113 Motion for Revival of Judgment, you will need to provide information about your judgment, as well as what you have done to try to collect the judgment.
Fill out only the top "caption" part of JDF 114 Notice to Show Cause for Revival of Judgment and JDF 125 Order for Revival of Judgment. The court will fill out the rest.
After you file your paperwork, the court will fill out the rest of JDF 114 Notice to Show Cause for Revival of Judgment and send it back to you. The court may ask that you provide a self-addressed stamped envelope. Check with the court about whether this is required.
After the court fills out the rest of JDF 114 Notice to Show Cause for Revival of Judgment and sends it back to you, you will be required to arrange to deliver a copy of JDF 114 Notice to Show Cause for Revival of Judgment, along with JDF 113 Motion for Revival of Judgment, to the person or business that owes you money.
The process of having these forms delivered is known as personal service. Self-Help Service of Process will help you understand how to arrange for personal service and how to return proof of service to the court.
After you serve the paperwork on the person or business that owes you money, they will have 14 days from the date of service to answer as to why they think the judgment should not be extended.
If no answer is filed within 14 days, the court will sign JDF 125 Order for Revival of Judgment, allowing the judgment to be extended.
If an answer is filed by the person or business that owes you money, the court will review the answer and your paperwork before making a decision. The court may need to set a hearing.
