Lesa, it seems like you have ample time to execute the garnishment based on the judgment date. If you have any further questions or need assistance later on, feel free to reach out.
I have been having trouble finding his current bank (he had to pay cash. Too many bounced checks). Also,his employer is a relative, so I believe the employer is helping to avoid serving the garnishment at his workplace. Any suggestions on what else I can do?
