They can register the judgment in the new state. Your wages could be garnished. If you buy real estate or other property, it could be seized and sold to pay off the judgment. It can go on your credit report. If you hang out long enough not paying it, the statute of limitations on the debt will expire and you'll be home free.
This is what people don't think about when they sue folks...you don't get money, you get an order entitling you to money. A lot of times, those don't end up turning into cash.
P.S. The answerer above is wrong...YOU CAN NOT BE JAILED FOR FAILURE TO PAY A JUDGMENT. We did away with debtors' prison many years ago.

The judgement against you in your current state can be executed in another state. Meaning a judgment obtained in Nebraska can be enforced in California. So, once you accrue assets, or get a job (depending on the judgment), the judgment holder can attach your assets as they accrue. Judgements do expire after 10 years, but they are very easy to revive. Even if you were to move abroad and accrue assets, most countries are parties to a treaty allowing people to honor judgments from the U.S.

Be a responsible person and pay your debts. You may not have any of these things now but you may want to buy a house or car someday. At that point this judgment will be on your credit record. Interest will accrue and you will have to pay more later. You can't run. Do the right thing and take care of it now.

The results of the lawsuit will follow you no matter where you go. You may not be going anywhere if you cannot give some type of timeframe for paying the lawsuit off.

Unless the state you move to is North Korea, or Cuba, yes they can still make you pay. This isn't a game.

They will place a lien on you. No matter where you go, this lien will be tied to your social security number.
They will almost likely place a judgement on you, meaning any assets you have can be sold and the money will go to to whom you owe it to.
Best advice - settle your debts

If they can tell you're avoiding the judgment they can take the ruling back to court and issue a warrant for arrest. THINGS CAN GET WORSE.

This could be considered illegal as well. But, look on the bright side..if you don't have anything..what can they take? They could probably garnish your paychecks..but not all jobs issue paychecks.
