My response:

Unless you asked the judge for a payment schedule, you're on the hook for the full amount within 30 days post judgment. If you fail to pay, then come the employment garnishments and writs of execution against bank accounts and property (both real and personal), and then "debtor's hearings", etc., etc.

Not a rosey situation.
