In the US,“judgment“is the only correct spelling and any variation is considered a misspelling. In other parts of the English-speaking world, things are more flexible. It is true that“judgment“is the most common variation, but“judgment“(although becoming less common due to US influence) is still acceptable. Interestingly, the same applies to adjectives“critical“y“critical“.
