Definition

A Writ of Garnishment is a legal mechanism whereby a court orders a third party to withhold funds they owe to the debtor and to direct the payment to the creditor instead. It's commonly used to collect on a judgment by seizing wages, bank account funds, or other assets that are in the hands of someone other than the debtor.
