Q: Writ of Garnishment of wages, dissolved 01/04/2021, job notified. 04/05/21 a Writ of Garnishment was delivered to my job
A Writ of Garnishment of wages was dismissed 01/04/2021 and info was sent to my employer 01/04/2021. On 04/05/21 , a Writ of Garnishment was delivered to my employer for the same dissolved case and my employer has garnished my wages. My employer is refusing to cease the garnishment of my wages until they receive an "updated dissolution of continuing writ of garnishment. I explained to my employer that there is no updated dissolution because the case never went to court again, the same dissolution stands.
A: You cannot get rid of the new writ by complaining about it to your employer. They MUST obey a judicial order, and will not listen to your lamentations. The only way to stop the new writ is to stop it in the court.
