Once papers have been served to you asking for a judgment on a credit card debt can a lawyer help?

The involved party has a specified amount of time, to 'answer' the judgment. This is extremely important, the person needs to file all their assets that are exempted according to the state laws or the assets will not be protected from creditor attachment/seizure. If the person owns a home they need to be very certain if the homestead exemption is not automatic that it is filed correctly. Obtaining the guidance of legal counsel would be a good choice. Especially if the person is not familiar with the legal procedure concerning execution of a creditor's writ of judgment. Mfacky (macky83@juno.com)

No. The judgment would be entered by the court. You can visit the court and request a copy of the judgment of divorce.
Didn't sign divorce papers with your lawyer when filing?

How do you get a judgment to say satisfied on your credit report when it was discharged in your bankruptcy?
If a judgment was included in, and discharged by, your bankruptcy; there is no need to obtain a separate disposition. Write the credit bureaus and send a copy of your bankruptcy papers which show this judgment included. That should suffice to have the judgment removed from your report and the original tradeline from the debt marked "included in BK". Talk with an attorney or go to a bank that has a notary service.

If you are at least making some type of payment on your credit card can they garnish your bank account?
it all depends on what state you live in. In some states they can't garnish your wages Garnishment requires a court order. You would have to be sued first, and either have judgment brought against you by losing the case, or by not responding to the lawsuit papers; called judgment by default. Then papers are mailed to you indicating that garnishment will occur. If you are served with papers, make sure you respond to the court within the time limit stated on the papers, or you risk judgment by default. Many times, if you are having financial troubles, you can indicate this to the court and they may decide the case in your favor.
