Affidavit Of Regular Garnishment

AFFIDAVIT OF REGULAR GARNISHMENT. This form is used in the State Court of Gwinnett County to initiate a garnishment action against a third party, known as the garnishee, who may hold money or property belonging to the defendant, the judgment debtor. This form is filed by the plaintiff, their attorney, or their agent when seeking to collect an outstanding judgment. It confirms that a valid judgment has been obtained against the defendant, that the balance remains unpaid, and that there is no agreement preventing garnishment at this time. The affidavit includes details such as the total amount due, which may consist of the principal balance, post-judgment interest, attorney’s fees, and other costs. If the garnishee is a financial institution or the garnishment is intended for child support or alimony collection, the appropriate box must be checked. Once filed, this affidavit supports the issuance of a Summons of Garnishment, which orders the garnishee to withhold funds owed to the defendant in accordance with Georgia law.
