A writ of garnishment is a process by which the court orders the seizure or attachment of the property of a defendant or judgment debtor in the possession or control of a third party. The garnishee is the person or corporation in possession of the property of the defendant or judgment debtor.
Writ of Garnishment is often referred to as garnishing a debtor's wages. A written notice is served to both the debtor and the debtor's employer or financial institution. There is a limit to the amount that can be garnished from the debtor's wages and the first $150 cannot be taken from the debtor's bank account.
The writ of garnishment is a court order requiring the garnishee to withhold a certain amount from your earnings and to continue to withhold a portion of your earnings until the judgment is satisfied or the writ is quashed by the court or released by the judgment creditor.
The court may receive evidence at a default hearing, and the court must provide a jury trial when the law requires one. The court may enter a default judgment against a minor child or an incompetent person only if that child or person was represented at the hearing by a guardian or by legal counsel.
A Judgment is enforceable for ten (10) years from date of Judgment. The Judgment may be renewed prior to the expiration of the Judgment date for an additional ten (10) years. The Judgment belongs to you, the Judgment Creditor. You may or may not collect.
So, while the default rules allow you to ask for a default after 20 or 30 days, the judge will not sign a decree of dissolution prior to 60 days after the service of the petition. In the event that the proper amount of time has passed, you can prepare an Application and Affidavit of Default.
