The judgment creditor does not have a valid provisional remedy order or support order or judgment against you or that the debt or judgment has been paid in full. 2. Some or all of the monies that are being withheld by the garnishee may be exempt monies. The following are examples that may be exempt monies: (a) One hundred fifty dollars in a bank, savings and loan association or credit union account.

More than fifteen days have passed since the garnishee was served with the Writ and you have not yet received the Garnishee’s Answer. 5. You otherwise disagree with the Answer of the garnishee. To request a hearing, deliver the request for hearing form enclosed, or a substantially similar form to the Court Clerk’s office. At the same time, you must mail or deliver a copy (photocopy or handwritten copy) of the request for hearing to the judgment creditor and the garnishee at the address stated in the Writ. If you do not deliver the request for hearing form to this Court within ten days after the date you receive the Answer of garnishee, your request for hearing will be denied, unless a good reason for the delay, acceptable to the Court, is shown. If you request a hearing it will be held no later than five days, not including weekends and holidays, after your request is received by the Court. If appropriate, you may request a hearing before the garnishee files his Answer. The Court will notify you and the other parties of the time and date of the hearing. You may attend the hearing with or without an attorney. WARNING: if you want a hearing, the Court must receive the hearing request form within ten (10) days after you get Garnishee’s Answer. If you don’t get the request in on time, you won’t get a hearing unless there is a very good reason why you’re late.
