Re: levy on wages of a business manger for an artist
Thanks for your posting, and I think I can answer your question as follows:
"HUH?"
Artists royalties are via contract, so court motions are not normally filed. If there are unpaid royalties, then you have a breach of contract case, not a "motion that states the manager is entitled to royalties."
And what is what you have described in yoru subject heading as a "manger"? Do you mean manager, or is this a nativity scene artwork or some kind? (Just kidding).
If you have more specifics, I can guide you from here. Please email me or call my office toll free at 1-877-568-2977.

You can't levy anything without a judgment from a court of law. That is where you start.

There is no motion which you can file with a court to accomplish what you would. You will have to file a lawsuit against the artist to enforce your contract, and I assume that you have a contract. It may be after filing the complaint, you could file a motion for summary judgment to summarily achieve your goal. Not easy. But, after you receive a judgment you can levy on royalties, or anything else.
