Try an order to pay out of income. Most states have provisions for these because many debtors are in business for themselves and do not receive a salary that can be garnished. The remedy in that situation is an order for the debtor to pay a certain amount of money to the judgment holder from out of the debtor's monthly income. If the debtor fails to make a payment he may be held in contempt of court for violating a court order. See the laws in your state to see if it is possible.
