A Louisiana Motion for Writ of Attachment is a type of legal action used by a plaintiff to secure payment of a debt or other claim from a defendant. This motion, also known as a Writ of Fair Facial (or FIFA), is a court order issued by a civil court in the state of Louisiana. It requires the defendant to pay the debt specified in the Writ or to have their property seized and sold to satisfy the debt. There are two types of Louisiana Motion for Writ of Attachment: ex parte and regular. An ex parte Writ of Attachment is a motion filed by the plaintiff without notice to the defendant, while a regular Writ of Attachment requires the defendant to be notified of the motion and given an opportunity to respond. In either case, the Writ of Attachment must be signed by the judge before it can be enforced.
