Tags: , , , , , , , ,


A writ of garnishment is an order granted by a court to the creditor ordering an employer to garnish the wages of the defendant by X amount each paycheck.  Such a writ is only granted when the creditor has filled out a suit in order to recover his debt and judgment was given in his favor.
