1. Lifetime of the judgment debtor, his or her spouse, his or her dependent adult child if that child is mentally or physically disabled or a joint tenant if the person was a joint tenant when the judgment was entered; or
2. Minority of any child of the judgment debtor, if the judgment debtor or joint tenant resides in the dwelling, or the spouse, dependent or minor child of the judgment debtor resides in the dwelling.
