Lawyers collecting money judgments and lawyers representing garnishee defendants need to incorporate the recent changes to the statutes and court rules that govern garnishments and executions. Be prepared to obtain, serve, and enforce or properly respond to garnishments and handle other postjudgment remedies.
- Ensure proper service of garnishments to avoid defaults and nonpayment
- Identify issues with independent contractors and multiple income sources
- Determine when execution will be more effective than garnishment
