Attachment
The other type of garnishment, also known as attachment, (or
attachment of earnings), requires the garnishee to deliver all the
defendant's money and/or property in the hands of the garnishee at the
time of service of process to the court, to be paid over to the
plaintiff. Since this type of garnishment is not continuing in nature,
but is not subject to the type of restrictions that apply to wage
garnishment, it is most often used against banks, or other persons or
companies that incur liquidated obligations in the regular course of
business. The garnishment should never begin during the pay period but
should begin on the following pay period
