Hello, I reside in the state of Missouri.
I just recently appeared in civil court and was awarded judgment, the judgment will be final on December 30, 2007. I had planned to garnish the defendant's work wages next week. However, the defendant phoned last night to inform me he had lost his job on December 18, 2007.
I am not sure what to do now, i am hoping someone might be able to advise me about Missouri law and if I have the right to garnish his bank account? Am I able to collect any or all funds in the account? Can unemployment be collected? Also, he mentioned he was in the process of getting his 401K and I am thinking it may be deposited into his bank account as well. Can his 401K be attached to the garnishment?
I really appreciate any and all information/options anyone might be able to give.
I am not sure if i have the right to go take back the computer system (with help of police) that is in my name and on my account, since there has now been a suit filed and judgment made. I know i cannot afford to make any more payments for him, I have made the last 5 payments and it doesn't bother the defendant one bit.
Thank you for your time,
Sincerely,
Been Had
