Is there a statute of limitations on divorce decree judgments?
No. A divorce decree is permanent. In some jurisdictions there is a waiting period before the decree will become absolute.

Once the waiting period has passed and there has been no such action the decree is absolute and and the terms and provisions in the decree are final and binding forever unless modified by the court.

That is strictly a personal choice. It may be more convenient to do so if one plans to establish their own line of credit and other identifying matters.
