If you owe the money and a judgment has been awarded, no, you cant. Just start paying it and get rid of it.

Sometimes, you can contact the creditor (or its attorney) and make a payment agreement and the garnishment will be 'released', but not dismissed; you may have to pay any court costs associated with this arrangement, and if you default, the garnishment will be 'renewed'. Or, you can file Ch 7 or Ch 13 bankruptcy and stop the garnishment; you will have to list all of your creditors.

1. If the garnishment is not legal, if there was some problem with the legal service, or some violaton of your rights during your court case.
Did you appear, did you have an attorney.
2. if you don't owe the money, or the orgainal debt was out of the SOL and you did not object
But to stop it, there has to be a legal reason why you don't either owe it or if there was some issue in court, but with all of these you will have to go though an attorney, have them review the case and see if they can do anything

You can quit your job. That'll work, but that's about it.

But know if you quit your job the judgement stays in place so the next job you get the garnishment will start back up. If you owe it pay it.

This works right up until the next job and then it starts all over again - or the creditor gets tired of chasing you around and moves against property or bank accounts.

Why run, it would cost more to move from state to state and try to be in hiding than just pay what you legaly owe.

Yes, if you leave your job when you change States (move), yes, your present employer will no longer be your current employer and the garnishment will stop.
Then they will track you down, transfer the Judgment and/or Order to the second State and begin to pursue you there and move against bank accounts, property, whatever is legal in your State.
