I think you are trying to ask - will my wages be garnished because of a judgment that has been rendered against me.
It depends on the state you live in. Most states have wage garnishment statues, but some do not. The creditor will also have to understand where you work in order to apply for wage garnishment. If your judgment is for child support, most states, even those with wage garnishment limitations, will enforce wage garnishment for child support.
If this is what you're asking, you'll know when your wages are garnished by the state. Don't expect to find out from your creditor, or from the court, if this is what they are planning on doing.
A better question to be asking is - what should I do to satisfy the judgment? You do understand that the creditor has the legal right to seize your assets to satisfy the judgment under your state's laws...right? And that that judgment is accruing interest at an average rate of 10% per year? And that the judgment can be renewed by the creditor indefinitely? You should probably settle with them, and thus get the process going in your favor, rather than wait for your wages to be garnished or other assets seized.

A lawyer will have someone come to your house and let you know you have to appear in court. Then they will pretty much tell you how much you have to pay. If you don't pay, then they will garnish your wages.

One would think that you would realize it, having LOST a court case.
