default judgment

[coldcreek]

What is the name of your state? SD

Would a general contractor be legally obligated to hold the pay of
a subcontractor that has a default judgment against him if the judgment
was presented to the general contractor.
Also prior to judgment, would the general contractor need to honor a
writ of attachment against the subcontractor?

[seniorjudge]

Yes to both.

Thankyou for your answer. To complicate the matter a bit the contract
is being done on an airforce base in SD. Ellsworth which looks like it is
going to stay! The general contractor issues checks to their sub contractors
from a corporate office in Utah. Will the answer still be yes to both? And
is there any other steps that would need to be taken to have the writ of
attachment or judgment honored by the corporate offices of the general
contractor?

You didn't bother to tell us the Feds were involved.

Thus, the answer is, "I don't know the answer."
