A garnishment is a legal process by which one party may collect money from another party, after a money judgment has been entered. A money judgment is an order signed by a judicial officer that awards money to one party against another party. One of the options to collect a judgment is known as a garnishment, by which a money judgment may be collected from either earnings or non-earnings.
The procedures and forms used to collect judgments from earnings are different from the procedures and forms needed to collect judgments from non-earnings. Separate packets are available for these two types of garnishment. At the beginning of each packet you will find a Process Checklist for the judgment creditor.
