Can an independent contractor's earnings be garnished in Colorado?
Yes. Self-employed persons are subject to garnishment under the same laws as those who are employed by a company/business. MI law follows federal guidelines, 30 x mininum wages of disposable income is exempt. (Ex. paid weekly 30 x 5.15=$154.50 is exempted). Amounts above that are subject to a maximum of 25% garnishment. In cases of self-employed persons the court will probably require proof of earnings, such as tax documents, bank accounts, etc.
What if you took a contractor to court to pay your attorney fees to get an illegal lien off your house and he has not paid so how do you put a lien on him?
I assume you were awarded a "Judgment and Decree Quieting Title" or some other order to that effect. There is no way to file a "lien" against the contractor--you already have a civil judgment. I would first contact the contractor licensing authority in your state--they will be able to see if the contractor has a cash bond to attach the judgment to. Second, I would call a real estate or construction law attorney--look for attorneys in the phone book who give "free consultations."
What can you do if you paid a contractor for supplies and work and he has not completed the job after numerous calls?
I suggest taking the contractor to small claims court. Small claims is fast, easy, informal, and requires no lawyer or legal knowledge. To have a successful case, you will need to have a licensed contractor finish the job. The amount of your claim would be the amount of money you paid the new contractor. If the amount in jeopardy exceeds the small claims jurisdictional limit, you must retain an attorney and sue in the court of general jurisdiction (Superior Court, Circuit Court, etc.--name varies by state). If you are looking for an attorney, if possible, choose one who will give you a free consultation. If this is not listed in their telephone book listing, just call attorneys and find one who will talk to you for free. Another powerful tool for consumers is a website called Ripoff Report. This website is designed to embarrass businesses into taking care of their consumers. Once you sign up for a free account, you can post a Ripoff Report against your contractor at no cost to you. The process is completely confidential, but you can warn other consumers about the con artist, and hopefully get him to pay for another contractor to finish the job. I have posted a link to the Ripoff Report website below.
What is the statute of limitations for sueing a contractor in the state of Michigan?
I can't answer this question, but I can tell you who to ask.The Attourney General's office will give you the definitive answer, but you'll end up bounced around and on hold for days. The Bureau of Licenses should know, and the local building inspector may know, and they'll be easier to get thru to, but the AG is the bottom line.

Yes and no. The contractor can file a lien against your house for non-payment. Even if you honestly don't owe the contractor any money, he may still lien your house; he will eventually have to prove the lien's validity in court or it is automatically released. No lien can be filed against your car. However, if the contractor gets a judgment against you, that judgment may be executed against your car and home to secure payment.
