More details to this question:
A final judgment of 7k was awarded to a Creditor from the Court back in 2008 and I haven't paid on it at all. I never received anything from them asking for any kind of payment schedule or anything at all. So I forgot about it, but now they are trying to file another case with the courts and requesting all kinds of information like, financial and banking for the past 5 years, birth certificate, passport, where my daughter works and all her info. Should I call their attorneys to see I can start making payment or get my own lawyer to try and make sure they don't garnish my wages from my job?

You're now in the post-judgment period known as "discovery in aid of execution" on the judgment. A judgment creditor has a right to conduct discovery from you and any third parties to determine what assets you have to satisfy the judgment.
