Re: Garnishment
Sure - you can pay the debt, settle the case, or (if it's a wage garnishment) quit your job. If it's a property/bank garnishment, there are various exemptions that could apply to the property. If the judgment was entered without jurisdiction or is otherwise subject to being vacated, you could file a motion to do that. You need to see a lawyer with regard to your specific facts in order to figure out your best course of action.
