Florida garnishment - ongoing examination

Two days before Thanksgiving this year I read the following from a total stranger,
"I use to live in TN in 2009 and was evicted from my apartment the apt filed a writ of garnishment through the court I made arrangements as was paying, however I moved to FL 2010 and called the attorney office that was handling the case many times they refuse to call me back because I have a out of state number..we are now 2012 and they have started taking 25% out my pay check what can I do to stop this?"
It started me thinking. After nearly a dozen posts of mine on the general topics of garnishment, exemptions and interstate mobility and employment, I have barely scratched the surface, and I am still thinking about it.

  1. A checklist for the wage garnishment debtor
  2. Across state lines
  3. What's the maximum amount of wage garnishment?
  4. Florida wage garnishment exemption for head of household
  5. Florida's Head of Family exemption applies to bank deposits
  6. An eight-point case caption - a Florida example
  7. Drafting a Florida claim of exemption from garnishment
  8. Why not a legal form for that?
  9. What is a verified pleading?
  10. Shifting burdens
  11. 5 ways to attack an affidavit

It may not be obvious how some of these posts relate to the original question about garnishment, but they do. If you are looking for a cookbook prescription for how to end the pain of wage garnishment quickly, simply, easily, inexpensively and risk free, this is not it. Merry Christmas anyway.
