What does aid in execution mean?
Something in "aid of execution" is a court pleading or action to do something to enforce a court judgment. Enforcing a judgment, whether one for money damages or for eviction, is done by execution on the judgment. A judgment holder on a debt can execute the judgment by attaching the defendant's assets or garnishing salary. One way to force payment is to execute or levy on a defendant's assets. Sometimes the location of those assets is unknown and a court will give the judgment holder the right to bring the defendant in to declare his assets and tell where they are. Not every state will do this. The judgment holder applies for an order to compel the defendant to appear. This in an effort to aid in the execution of the judgment. hence the phrase.

When are civil suits paid?
When the Defendant has the money! Joking, of course. This question leaves out a lot of information. Is there a settlement, a judgment, an appeal? Generally, if there is a settlement, the agreement itself dictates when payment is to be made. If there is a judgment, the Plaintiff has many tools to effectuate payment, if the Defendant is not forthcoming with the payment. If the Defendant appeals the judgment, then the Plaintiff will generally have to wait until after the appeal is heard - but this is usually ok since the Defendant will usually have to file a bond in the amount of the judgment to file the appeal (which secures Plaintiffs' damages, should the appeal fail).
