I've gotten at least 4 summons from when I turned 18 and I've thrown every single one of them directly in the trash can. Nothing has ever happened to me. But, I move a lot, being a college student, so I assume I could always claim I didn't get it. I'm pretty sure wage garnishing isn't an option. At worst they can fine you a couple grand which you can set up into like $20/ month payments, or you get a few days in jail.
I also heard of this (quoted from WikiHow, reference link below):
In California, there is a loophole you can take advantage of to get out of serving on a trial if you aren't able to get out of being called for jury service. This is significant, as trials in CA often last 10 - 20 days. In the voir-dire (evaluation of potential candidates for a jury on a specific trial), the judge will ask if anyone has any significant reason not to serve on a trial (which can last for weeks in CA). Most excuses will not be accepted, but some, such as medical excuses, will get you dismissed. One tack to try: Explain to the judge that you have a pressing, pressing commitment in the next week or two, and that you would be happy to re-schedule your jury service two weeks hence because of this very pressing work or personal commitment. Most judges will agree to let you come back and repeat jury service in two weeks, even if your commitment doesn't rise to the level needed for him to just let you go Scott free. However (and here's the catch), by state law you will have served you jury service *already* by showing up for a day and not being selected for trial. When you return to the jury room, instead of getting your jury service rescheduled they will hand you piece of paper certifying you have completed it. Voila!

Are there any cards in yu-gi-oh that are like Royal Oppression but better maybe something that helps just you?
You obviously have the option of Solemn Judgement being like it, but even that is not worth it. Royal Oppression focusses mainly on Special Summons, and the life point cost is to even out the power. Because it is to do with those, run a deck that does not make use of Special Summons, such as a Gadget or Monarch deck. Also, remember that Fusion Summons are not considered to be Special Summons.

What do you do if you have been served a civil summons for your ex-husband's credit debt?
If you are named on the summons then you are a co-debtor, or at least the creditor/plaintiff believes you to be such. If you are not named on the summons you should not have accepted it, but having done so you should make certain that the ex-spouse receives it as soon as possible. If the debt was incurred during the marriage and you resided in a community property state you may be equally responsible for the debt. If the debt was joint and was addressed in the dissolution of marriage petition where he agreed to assume it, such an agreement is not legally binding for the creditor. The best option is to discuss the specific circumstances with a qualified attorney before responding to the summons or taking other action.
Do you have to go to court for a garnishment after receiving a summons?
If the defendant does not respond to a summons, the plaintiff will usually win the case by default. A judgment will be awarded, a judgment can then be executed pursuant to state law, one option is wage garnishment. The defendant/debtor does not have to attend court. If he/she wants to protect property or perhaps have a chance to appeal the ruling, it would be in their best interest to make an appearance or retain legal counsel.
