Maryland law provides that interest accrues after the judgment (10% in all but a few types of cases), so that charge will keep on increasing. Also, court costs associated with writs of garnishment (i.e., the $25 or so filing fee for each writ) will similarly be added. Attorneys fees may have been awarded at time of judgment.

The above reflects charges imposed by the judgment creditor's lawyer; naturally you would pay your own lawyer (if you have one) any fees / court costs incurred in your representation.
