Georgia Traverse

A traverse is a legal document filed with the Clerk of Court by which the defendant contends that the facts contained in the affidavit of garnishment, amounts, underlying judgment, or the garnishment action itself, or other matters are incorrect.

The traverse is filed in person by the respective party, and a court date will be scheduled at the time of filing. The court date is usually set within two weeks of filing the traverse. Any monies collected prior to the traverse will be held until the court date.
