If your wages are being garnished you can file a claim of exemption to lower the garnishment. A bankruptcy would stop the garnishment.

You can pay the debt or file bankruptcy.

Yes, I believe bankruptcy is the only way, because the creditor has already received judgment and the time for appeal has passed.

Filing bankruptcy will stop a wage garnishment after notice is given to your HR Department.

You can ask the Superior Court that issued the garnishment order to reduce the amount being garnished (at least temporarily) but you must prove that you cannot meet your basic living expenses unless the amount being garnished is reduced.

Since a garnishment occurs after you lost a court case, generally the only two ways to stop most garnishments are bankruptcy and paying off the judgment.

Bankruptcy will stop a wage garnishment. So will paying the debt in full, if you are able to do that.

Bankruptcy or settlement with the creditor/debt collector.
