Affidavit For Order Of Wage Garnishment Continuous Or As Designated {7069-1(a)}

Local Form 7069-1(a) - AFFIDAVIT FOR ORDER OF WAGE GARNISHMENT (CONTINUOUS OR AS DESIGNATED). This form package from the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky is used to initiate and administer a wage garnishment order against a judgment debtor to satisfy a money judgment. It begins with an Affidavit for Order of Wage Garnishment, in which the judgment creditor or their attorney certifies that the debtor is not in active military service and that specific amounts remain unpaid under a prior judgment, including principal, interest, and court costs. The affidavit requests that the court issue a wage garnishment order to the debtor’s employer (the garnishee), directing the employer to withhold a portion of the debtor’s wages. Once approved, an Order of Wage Garnishment is issued, instructing the employer to continuously withhold nonexempt wages until the judgment is paid or for a specified period. This includes detailed rules about how to calculate exempt versus nonexempt earnings and how to prioritize multiple garnishment orders. The employer must also complete and return an Affidavit and Answer of Garnishee to verify the debtor's employment, earnings, and amounts withheld. The package includes a Notice to Judgment Debtor of Right to Assert Exemption to Wage Garnishment, which informs the debtor of their legal right to object to the garnishment if exempt wages were taken. It outlines how the debtor may request a court hearing and under what time frame they must act—generally within 13 days of the paycheck from which garnished wages were taken. Instructions to employers detail the steps required to comply with the garnishment order and ensure that all parties receive proper documentation. www.FormsWorkflow.com
