Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Florida

Re: Garnishments Withheld

The garnishee usually has no prior knowledge of the garnishment proceeding. What you may be asking is whether notice of garnishment is required. Again the answer is , in most cases, no.

Garnishment is usually employed as a post-judgment remedy in the manner of an execution, as a means to satisfy the judgment. Of course, notice of the the commencement of suit is necessary. That is accomplished by the filing and service of a summons and complaint.
