    What can be attached to pay the Judgment depends on your State - different States have different laws.

    It will continue in one form or another until the Judgment is paid in full.

    A judgement allows the plaintiff to use any means available under local laws to collect the debt. These can include garnishment of salary, attachment of bank accounts, attachment of other assets.
