The Maryland Request for Garnishment on Wages (Bilingual — Chinese Format) is a form used by creditors to garnish wages from a debtor's wages. This garnishment is usually done in order to collect a debt that is owed by the debtor. The Maryland Request for Garnishment on Wages (Bilingual — Chinese Format) includes information such as the debtor's name, the creditor's name, the amount owed, the date of the garnishment, and the debtor's employer. The form must be completed in both English and Chinese in order to be legally enforceable. There are two types of Maryland Request for Garnishment on Wages (Bilingual — Chinese Format): a pre-judgment garnishment and a post-judgment garnishment. The pre-judgment garnishment is used when the creditor has filed a lawsuit against the debtor and is trying to collect on the debt before the court has issued a judgment. The post-judgment garnishment is used after the court has issued a judgment in favor of the creditor and the debtor has failed to pay the debt. The post-judgment garnishment allows the creditor to garnish the wages of the debtor in order to pay off the debt.
