I think it's been too long now for any of the post-judgment remedies to apply, even in a case where you weren't personally served and didn't have the opportunity to appear at trial. Depending on exactly what your wages are being garnished for, though, you may be able to go to court again to try to have that aspect of things modified, if that would be appropriate in this particular case. Without a lot more information being given about the details of your case, I don't think any real "answer" will be possible, so I'd suggest you contact a family law attorney and at least arrange for a consultation so that you can get a better idea what your realistic options may be on this. Good luck!
