Writ for Support
May 17, 2011
I recently filed for a writ of execution to help a mother garnish the wages of her ex spouse under a spousal support judgment. The judgment was quit old. It was initially rejected because on the writ, it did not state that it was for support.
Clerks at the court along with those in the sheriff’s office are not accustomed to seeing judgments that are older than 10 years so you need to make sure that they know that you have a support judgment and that it does not need to be renewed every 10 years. Advising them of the law and the nature of your case will help reduce unnecessary delays and rejections by the courts.
