Lots of possibilities, but some common one are:
- A court order can be obtained to garnish the wages of the defendant. Based on the amount and how much the defendant makes, a percentage of each pay check will be sent to the court to pay the debt.
- Any assets or property owned by the defendant can be confiscated and put up for sale to cover the amount owed.
- The defendant can be charged with contempt of court and jailed for not obeying a valid court order.
