You cannot garnish his wages unless you first obtain a judgment which requires that you first file a complaint. You will need to sue him in New Jersey since that is where he lives.

You can be safe and file in NJ. But, if the contract for the loan was made here in Michigan, you could file in the District Court where the contract was made. Check out my website at www.kliszlaw.com for more information. Tim Klisz
