Typo in my judgment — do I need a new judgment?
CAdeepwater1 month ago
Got my certified judgment. The clerk spelled my address wrong on the form. Does that matter?

Almost certainly not — the judgment binds you legally regardless of an address typo, since the address isn't a substantive term. If it bothers you (or if it'll cause friction with a refinance lender), you file an ex parte motion for a 'nunc pro tunc' clerical correction. The court fixes it without a hearing. Free or near-free, takes a week or two.
