60-737
60-737. Same; garnishment attaching earnings; contents. This section shall apply if the garnishment is to attach earnings of the judgment debtor.
(a) The answer of the garnishee shall be substantially in compliance with the forms set forth by the judicial council.
(b) Within 15 days following the end of each month, the garnishee shall complete the answer in accordance with the instructions accompanying the answer form for all pay periods ending during the month and send the completed answer to each judgment creditor and judgment debtor at the addresses listed on the answer form. The garnishee shall designate on the answer in the space provided on the answer form the name and case number for each judgment creditor who has a garnishment order in effect for the same debtor at the end of each month and the amount that is due each judgment creditor under the garnishment in accordance with the instructions accompanying the answer form. Only one answer needs to be completed for each judgment debtor by the garnishee and the garnishee may duplicate the completed answer in any manner the garnishee desires for distribution to each judgment creditor and judgment debtor. The answer shall be supported by unsworn declaration in the manner set forth on the answer form.
(c) If there are other liens against the judgment debtor's earnings which by law have priority over garnishments, the garnishee shall so indicate on the answer. In such event, the garnishment shall remain in effect but no earnings of the debtor shall be withheld under the garnishment order unless and until all of the other liens having priority are released or satisfied or the earnings being withheld under all of such liens are less than the amount which is exempt under K.S.A. 60-2310, and amendments thereto.
