Does this mean garnishment?
No this does not mean garnishment. However it is one step towards garnishment. Normally a creditor will attempt to attach any home you have, any bank account you have and your wages within days or weeks after they get the judgment. You have a very short time after the judgment is issued to appeal the judgment. If you dont appeal the judgment you have basically agreed to it and can't complain later. You may be able to file bankruptcy to avoid losing 25% of your check, all of the money in your bank account and having your home attached and possibly sold. In extreme cases I have seen them take the furniture from a home.
Means the judgment was granted by the judge.
Ordered and adjudged means “ordered.” It does not mean garnishment directly but it could give rise to a garnishment.
