Re: vacate judgment and stay wage garnishment
A motion will have to be made on your behalf to have the judgment and default vacated and the case returned to active status. Assuming that the judment is from a NJ suit, you will have to show both a meritorious defense and excusable neglect in answering the summons and complaint.

Mr. Corbett did a good job of answering your question. I suggest you at least consult with an attorney before doing anything. You could put yourself in more hot water if you handle this the wrong way.
