(a) At any time while the papers in any case in which a
judgment has been rendered by a circuit court are retained by
the court, the judge shall certify and deliver an abstract of
the judgment to any person on the payment of a five dollar
($5.00) fee.
(b) The judgment creditor in any judgment rendered in
circuit court may file with the clerk of the district court and
record with the county clerk of the county in which the judgment
was rendered a transcript thereof, certifying therein the amount
paid thereon, if any. The clerk of the district court shall
enter the case on the execution docket, together with the amount
of the judgment. If within ten (10) days after the judgment was
rendered, the judgment debtor pays the same or gives bond for
stay of execution, the circuit judge shall immediately certify
that fact to the clerk of the district court and the county
clerk. The clerk of the district court shall enter a memorandum
thereof upon the execution docket. The cost of the transcript,
the filing, recording and the entry on the docket shall be paid
by the party who files and records the transcript and may be
taxed to the other party. The judgment shall be a lien on the
real estate of the judgment debtor within the county from the
day and time the transcript is recorded with the county clerk.
Execution may be issued on the judgment at any time after filing
the transcript with the clerk of the district court as if the
judgment had been rendered in the district court.
(c) The judgment creditor in any judgment rendered by any
circuit court in this state and filed in the judgment record of
the district court, may file a transcript of the judgment record
of the district court with the clerk of the district court and
record a transcript of the judgment with the county clerk in any
other county within this state where the judgment debtor owns
real estate. The judgment is a lien upon all real estate of the
judgment debtor in any county in which the transcript is
recorded with the county clerk from the date of recording with
the county clerk. The clerk of the district court of any county
in which the transcript is filed shall enter the judgment upon
the judgment records of the court in the same manner as
judgments are rendered in that court.
