Re: bank garnishment
Supplemental proceedings. Thats a motion for an order requiring him to show up with the records showing his bank accounts, his real and personal property and every other thing that he owns that could potentially be sold by the sheriff to satisfy his obligation to you.
The order to appear must be signed by a judge and then personally served on the debtor.
This is NOT self help law. Attorneys who collect debts would be happy to help you because they can tack on their attorney fees to the judgment you have all ready secured.
Hope this helps. Powell
