Answer:
The statute of limitations on a civil judgment in Oklahoma is five years, but it can be renewed. To enforce the judgment, you can file a writ of execution with the court. This writ directs the sheriff to collect the amount owed from the debtor's property. If the debtor does not have personal property, the sheriff can take the debtor's real estate to satisfy the judgment. You can obtain the writ of execution from the clerk of the court where the judgment was issued. Procedures may vary by location, so it’s advisable to contact the clerk's office for specific guidance.
