Virginia Procedures for Requesting a Garnishment is a legal process that allows creditors to collect unpaid debts from a debtor's wages or bank accounts. The Virginia Code outlines the procedures for requesting a garnishment in the state of Virginia. Types of Virginia Procedures for Requesting a Garnishment: Prejudgmentnt Garnishment: A creditor may request a pre-judgment garnishment before a court has issued a judgment in a case. The creditor must file a request for a writ of garnishment with the court, and serve the debtor with the writ. The writ will include instructions for the garnishee to provide the court with information on the debtor’s assets and income. • Post-Judgment Garnishment: After a court has issued a judgment in favor of the creditor, the creditor may request a post-judgment garnishment from the court. The court will issue a writ of garnishment to the garnishee, and the garnishee must provide the court with information on the debtor’s assets and income. • Domestic Support Garnishment: In cases involving unpaid child support or alimony payments, a domestic support garnishment may be requested from the court. The court will issue a writ of garnishment to the garnishee, and the garnishee must provide the court with information on the debtor’s assets and income. • Exemptions: Under Virginia law, certain assets and income may be exempt from garnishment. These include Social Security benefits, federal and state tax refunds, and certain retirement accounts.
