How to Stop a Garnishment

To stop a bank account garnishment, a judgment debtor should file a claim of exemption, gather all documentation in support of their exemption, and be prepared to prove entitlement to an exemption to the creditor's attorney or to the judge.
A creditor can serve a writ of garnishment on a bank regardless of whether the money in the bank is exempt or not. The bank can, and should, freeze the account upon being served with the writ. A bank is not liable for withholding the account balances that are later determined to be exempt from garnishment.
