A civil suit after a judgment is obtained but not before can definitely result in a garnishment of the judgment debtor's salary. That is one of the most widely used methods of collecting on a judgment when the debtor does not have assets from which to pay the debt.
I would also have to add that when you agree and pay off a debt, you need to be clear that the entry to the court states with or without prejuduce to be clear that thety can or cannot come after you at a later date Once a judgment has been paid off, there should be no further efforts to collect. If the judgment debtor is improperly trying to collect more than what is owed, a motion for relief filed with court where the judgment was entered may necessary.
it means that the judgment is enforceable if they have obtained one on you
No. Judgments for debt owed is a civil matter not a criminal one.
Yup!
A civil judgment expires after a statutory period of time which varies by state or jurisdiction. Before the time period expires, one can file essentially for an extension, or in other words, a renewal of the judgment to extend the time period.

A judgment against the trustee in his individual capacity will not affect the trust property. A judgment against the trustee as the trustee will become a lien on the trust property.
Typically, a civil judgment in one state will not directly prevent someone from obtaining a driver's license in another state. However, if the civil judgment is related to unpaid fines or fees owed to a state's Department of Motor Vehicles, it may affect the ability to obtain a license in that specific state.
If the civil judgment is due to not making payments for an auto loan on the car that is in question, then yes, that car may be repossessed as a result of the judgment. If there is a judgment against both owners of the car (i.e., if the co-owners are both listed as defendants), then the car is considered an asset and may be repossessed unless there is proof that the car is required for one or all of the co-owners to earn money in order to pay the judgment. If there is a judgment against only one of the owners of the car (i.e., if one of the co-owners is listed as a defendant, but ANY of the others are not), then no, the vehicle may not be repossessed.
A summary judgment is a legal decision made by a judge in a civil case when no trial is necessary because there are no genuine disputes over the material facts of the case. It is typically granted when one party demonstrates that there is no need for a trial because the evidence in the case is clear and one party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law.
