Legal Question in Appeals and Writs in Georgia

appeal

A summary judgement was ruled against me, the judge said I did not respond to the motion.I did not receive any paperwork from the plaintiff in a timely manner,due to my residence moving 2 times waiting to move into a house.The plaintiff's lawyer was notified of me sending the appropriate materials to him. The lawyer said his paperwork of nonresponse was sent of to the judge already. The materials I sent were postmarked on Friday, the Plaintiff's lawyer said his materials were sent off the following Monday. Is an appeal in order? How long do I have to make an appeal?Will an appeal stop the garnishment process?

Re: appeal

You really need to immediately see an attorney. That is really the only answer to your questions.
