It's really not a matter of "having to pay". The judgment creditor has the legal right to execute the judgment in whatever manner is allowed under the laws of the debtor's state. The preferred method of enforcing a judgment is wage garnishment followed by, bank account levy or seizure and sale of non exempt property belonging to the debtor or lien against real property belonging to the debtor. FYI, in terms of the court ordered judgment, the debtor is not subject to action by the court if the judgment is not satisfied.
