Garnishment in Oklahoma is a legal process that allows creditors to collect debts by seizing a debtor's wages or bank account funds. To initiate garnishment, a creditor must obtain a court judgment and then file a garnishment action with the court. The debtor is typically notified and has the opportunity to contest the garnishment. Oklahoma law provides certain exemptions and limits on the amount that can be garnished, protecting a portion of a debtor's income from being seized.

How do you serve a garnishment in Oklahoma?

In Oklahoma, to serve a garnishment, you must file a garnishment application with the court and obtain a garnishment order. After that, you can serve the garnishment order along with a copy of the application on the garnishee (the third party holding the debtor's funds) using certified mail or personal service. It's important to ensure that the garnishee acknowledges receipt of the documents, as this will initiate the garnishment process. Always check local rules or consult an attorney for specific procedures and requirements.
