Federal judges are appointed for life. The term for a judge in a state court will vary from state to state and court to court. For example, in my state the circuit court judges are appointed for 10 year terms, district court & family court judges get 6 year terms. We also have per diem judges (basically, substitute judges who get called in for a day or two now and then) in the district & family court who get appointed for two terms.
Some federal judgments are good for 20 years before renewal is required. However, some states have decided to use their own limits: for example, in Florida, the limit is five years.Generally, one must wait two weeks before starting to enforce a federal judgment. federal judgment can be moved to a state superior court, if you start and win a new lawsuit in state court. If you start a new lawsuit in state court, there are few shortcuts, the debtor must be personally served, and can contest the lawsuit, and a motion for summary judgment must be won.
