You can only conduct a wage garnishment in the state where the judgment was entered. If the debtor lives in another state, you will need to register the judgment where the debtor lives and use the laws of that state to start the wage garnishment.
How do you Dismiss the judgment?
If a judgment has been recorded against someone, that person must pay the person holding the judgment the full amount of the judgment plus interest unless some lesser amount is agreed upon. When te payment clears, the judgment holder gives a document called a Warrant of Satisfaction (or some similar term), which the debtor sends to the state office where the judgment is recorded. That office will file the Warrant and the judgment will be released. It is never "dismissed". It is just paid and satisfied.
