Prepare a post-judgment discovery and garnishment application
Key facts
- Human involvement
- RedLawyer-led
- How AI is used
- From the asset notes, list each account, employer, and amount the notes state, and leave a column for the § 1673 earnings ceiling. Do not write the application and do not calculate a wage deduction.
- What the lawyer must review
- You write the application. Rule 69(a)(2) is the federal authority for discovery in aid of the judgment or execution, including discovery from the judgment debtor, under these rules or under the procedure of the state where the court is located. Rule 69(a)(1) sends the execution procedure itself to that state's procedure, unless a federal statute applies. Section 1673 is the federal limit on garnishment of disposable earnings. You apply the 25 percent ceiling and the thirty-times-minimum-wage ceiling, and you use § 1673(b) only when the debt is a support order. The tool does not compute the deduction.
