CR
69.02 POST-JUDGMENT GARNISHMENT; SERVICE; ANSWER; DISPOSITION OF
FUNDS
(1) Service of post-judgment orders of attachment or garnishment
upon third-party garnishees, such as employers and financial
institutions, shall be served as prescribed in Rule
4 or, at the option of the plaintiff, may be directed by the
plaintiff to the garnishee by regular first class or certified mail,
or may be personally served by any person authorized to serve a
subpoena pursuant to Rule 45.03. Expenses
shall be recoverable as costs.
(2) Upon receiving a post-judgment order of garnishment, the
garnishee shall answer within the time required by Rule
12.01, and unless otherwise ordered by the court shall make
payments directly to the attorney for the party in whose behalf the
order of garnishment was issued. If such party has no attorney of
record, as, for example, in the instance of a "small
claim," payments by the garnishee shall be made to the clerk of
the court.
Except for child support arrearages, where wages are garnisheed, the
attorney for the party in whose behalf the order of wage garnishment
was issued, or the clerk of the court if such party has no attorney
of record, shall safely hold the garnisheed funds in escrow for a
period of fifteen (15) days from the issuance date of the employer's
garnishment check. If the debtor files an objection within that
period, the funds shall continue to be held until the court rules
upon the objection. If an exemption is asserted and a hearing held,
the attorney or clerk of the court shall disburse the garnisheed
funds as ordered by the court. If no exemption is asserted the
attorney or clerk of the court shall after the fifteen (15) day
period disburse the funds to the party in whose behalf the order of
garnishment was issued.
