Garnishment
Garnishment is an American legal order for collecting a monetary judgment on behalf of a plaintiff from a defendant. The money can come directly from the defendant (the garnishee) or—at a court's discretion—from a third party. Jurisdiction law may allow for collection—without a judgment or other court order—in the case of collecting for taxes.
