Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Florida

Re: Wage Garnishment

Without knowing more about the particulars of your case, I can only provide general guidance on your question. You may prepare and serve her employer with a writ of garnishment. You may also serve a writ of garnishment on any person or entity that may owe the judgment debtor money. The garnishee (which is the person or entity served with the writ) will have a limited time to respond to the writ, at which time you will learn what, if anything, is owed to the judgment debtor. This process may be tricky for someone who has never undertaken it, so I suggest you retain counsel or at least go through the process and its requirements (and the forms necessary for the same) with a qualified person who works at the courthouse, and carefully read the pertinent garnishment statutes. Please note that as a judgment creditor you have the right to get financial records from the judgment debtor that may help you find the money you are searching for (i.e., bank statements, insurance policies, etc.). Good luck.
