Request For Hearing Earnings

FORM 8 GE 8150-008 - REQUEST FOR HEARING ON GARNISHMENT FORM 8 (EARNINGS) (A.R.S. § 12-1598.16(C)). This form is used in the Maricopa County Justice Courts by a judgment debtor (typically the defendant) to formally request a court hearing regarding the garnishment of their earnings. The form allows the debtor to contest specific issues related to the garnishment process, such as extreme financial hardship, lack of valid judgment, full payment of the judgment, or procedural errors (e.g., not receiving required documents or paycheck). It does not allow the debtor to challenge the factual basis of the original judgment itself—those concerns must be addressed through a different motion under Rule 141 of the Justice Court Rules of Civil Procedure. The form also gives the judgment creditor the opportunity to agree to reduce the garnishment rate to 5%, the statutory minimum, which may lead to cancellation of the hearing. The debtor or their authorized representative must certify service of the form on all relevant parties and ensure it is received by the court within ten business days of receiving the garnishee’s answer, unless a valid reason for delay is shown. www.FormsWorkflow.com
