Garnishments

Garnishments are legal processes used to collect money owed by a debtor. When a court orders garnishment, a portion of the debtor's wages or bank account is withheld and directed to the creditor to pay off debts, such as loans or child support. This typically happens after a court has determined that the debtor owes money and has failed to pay. Garnishments can affect wages, bank accounts, and other sources of income, and they provide a way for creditors to ensure they receive payment while adhering to legal guidelines.
