Question about how judgements work

So say CA is awarded the judgement and they decide they wanna garnish your taxes as form of payment but then change their mind and want to garnish your paychecks or seize your bank account do they have to go back to court to file a separate motion to do that? Or can they automatically do it because they were already awarded the judgement?

Each of these actions requires an order of execution from the court, it would be 3 different orders, the plaintiff cannot just run around trying to take everything you have, the collection process is also overseen by the court.
