The Maryland Request for Writ of Garnishment of Property Other Than Wages is a legal document issued by the court to direct an employer to withhold a certain percentage of an employee’s wages for payment to a creditor. The Writ of Garnishment of Property Other Than Wages is commonly used when an employee has defaulted on a loan or other debt obligation. There are two types of Maryland Requests for Writ of Garnishment of Property Other Than Wages: the Garnishment of Earnings and the Garnishment of Non-Earnings. The Garnishment of Earnings applies to wages, salary, bonuses, or other compensation that an employee earns in exchange for services rendered. The Garnishment of Non-Earnings applies to assets owned by the employee, such as bank accounts, stocks, bonds, or other investments. In order for the court to issue a Writ of Garnishment of Property Other Than Wages, the creditor must submit a properly completed form to the court. The form must include the name of the debtor, the amount of the debt, and the name of the creditor. The court will then review the form and issue the writ if it finds that the debtor is legally obligated to pay the debt. Once the Writ is issued, the employer must comply with the order and deduct the agreed upon amount from the employee’s wages or assets.
