How Long for Judgement?

My ex and I submitted a Stipulation for Judgment to the court somewhere around 4/6/07. How long should we expect it to take until the judge signs it and it is entered as judgment? It is Riverside county, CA, if that makes a difference. Is there any way I can find out, even an approximation or where it is in the queue? This has been so stressful and I just want for it to be over (started over a year ago). The only answer I have received so far is that it is indeterminate. Is there a maximum amount of time that it can sit on the judge's desk, at least?

No--but after 90 days you could certainly inquire again and ask for it to be done.

Thank you.

I went into the court and showed them a paper for assuming my mortgage, which requires a divorce decree and asked for a copy of my divorce decree. The clerk said that the paperwork was sent to the judge for signature a week ago Friday and that it should be signed within a week or two. I thought it was sent to the judge a long time ago, but apparently not, or at least something happened because she was reading it off of her computer screen. I'm hopeful that it will happen soon! )

That was supposed to be a smiley face at the end of my message. It got changed to embarrassment.

Let us know how it goes!

Well, it's been much longer than the one week they predicted for the judgment to be entered. I called and they said that I could file a declaration requesting to have my judgement expedited, so I did. I don't know how that works, if it works, or how fast it works, but we'll see what happens. The reason I gave was that I only have until July 5 to complete some of the requirement of the signed stipulated judgment, but some of those requirements require a copy of the divorce decree, so I'm between a rock and a hard place. Any thoughts?

Well, I guess it worked. They entered the judgement the day they received the request to expedite. They made the effective date a month earlier. Obviously, they were just sitting on it for no good reason. Apparently, you just have to ask them to do their job in a timely manner. Anyway, it's all done now. Thanks for your input.

Thanks for the helpful input! Others should probably take the advice as well...

what's that form??? i can't find a declaration for expedited judgment entry (my words....) do you have it in front of you?!
by the way, riverside is apparently behind on EVERYTHING, not just your judgment...
