Most often, the judgment debtor will need to pay the judgment as a lump sum, but sometimes a debtor will ask to pay it in installments.

The third and easiest way to collect is wage garnishment. If the debtor has a job, you can collect up to 25% of his or her wages until the judgment is paid. Give your sheriff or other local official (known as a levying officer) information about the judgment and where the debtor works.
