It has been estimated that there may be as many as fifty million void judgments on file in America's courthouses. "Void" means having no legal force or validity; null. A judgment entered by a court is void if a court lacks jurisdiction over the parties or subject matter of a lawsuit. Lack of jurisdiction over the parties usually means that somebody wasn't served properly. Lack of subject matter jurisdiction means the matter was brought in the wrong court, or certain necessary facts weren't there. Judgments are void if the record shows fraud, a jurisdictional failing, or inconsistency with due process. A void judgment can be attacked and "vacated" either in the same court or in another court. "Vacate" means basically "cancel," "annul" from the beginning, as if it never was. Generally, there is no statue of limitations on vacating void judgments! If you or someone you know have lost property, liberty or family as the result of a sham proceeding, it CAN be vacated.
