Ask a Lawyer QuestionCountry: United States of AmericaState: New York I made payment arrangements with a creditor in April 2005 and I have paid them via Money Order every month. Today I received an Information Subpoena with Restraining Notice to Garnishee that has been mailed to every bank in my area. I have a business checking account because I am in a business partnership with my husband in addition to my fulltime job. My paycheck from my fulltime job is a direct deposit to my business account. Can they hold funds on our business account to compensate for this debt? AnswerYes--you should not keep funds in any account; it would appear you did not show in court or you lost in court--you may try to get it removed if you never had proper notice of the court proceeding...How to thank TFD for its existence?

| Based on some of your comments and your reference to the employee as a "deadbeat dad," it sounds as if you might also need to be reminded that it is illegal employment discrimination to treat an employee differently because his wages are being garnished, regardless of the reason behind the garnishment order. |
