A: However long it takes the sheriff in your county to get around to removing you. Time to gather your possessions that you want to take, and leave.

A: First the Good News: You are NOT "being sued for possession of property you lived at with your boyfriend for almost 5 years." Now for the bad news: The case is over; a Writ of Possession has been issued by the Judge and the person(s) on the other side can call the sheriff at any time to evict you. Advice: Stop asking questions on the Internet and get ready to move when the sheriff's deputies show up.
