Q: What is the Priority in Garnishment?
Priority—first in time has priority.
a. Majority rule—relation back to issuance of writ. So the first writ issued will have priority.
b. Minority rule—priority based on delivery of the writ. So, if there is a tie and not enough to pay each debt, each creditor will receive partial payment. Ex. 5000 in debt and 6500 in debt. Pay out 5000/6500 x the amount that each party is owed.
