A judgment creditor can garnish your wages until you have satisfied the underlying judgment or until another garnishment, e.g., child support, takes priority. Generally, a judgment creditor must execute on a judgment within five years of obtaining it. The judgment creditor can, however, renew the judgment for subsequent five-year terms.
