A. If the judgment debtor is employed, his/her wages may be garnished to pay off the judgment. To begin the wage garnishment process, you should do the following:
- File both a Writ of Execution (EJ-130) and a Memorandum of Costs After Judgment (MC-012) and pay the filing fee to the clerk.
- Once the clerk has processed the writ, take the original writ to the Sheriff's office and request an Application for Earnings Withholding Order. Note: Fill out the forms completely with the employer's name and address and the judgment debtor's full name.
- Pay the Sheriff Department fee to serve the wage garnishment.
