They *could* be held in contempt of court, jailed, and fined.

It depends on the reason why. Let's say they had an accident that made them permanently unable to work, therefore drawing disability as their sole source of income. It wouldn't be prudent for any judge to jail them for circumstances beyond your control.

The only out to not pay a civil judgment if you are not disabled would be to file for bankruptcy.
