The courts just said you win . Its your job to collect the money. Some states let you garnish wages . If he owns anything of value you maybe able to put a lien on it . I know its not much help. Call a local lawyer and ask them over the phone , they will talk briefly with you for free.

It's tricky how this works so bear with me,\n\n   In Washington, companies need to give employees notification when they start garnishing wages.  These notifications are not served at work, but rather via a certified letter to your last known address (at least, that's how it's supposed to be done).  Not recieving this letter DOES NOT mean they can't start garnishing your wages, as the employer must do this immediatley when they recieve the court order.\n\nWage garnishments are used to collect money that you already know you owe and have not remitted to some agency (Child support, a lawsuit, Federal taxes, etc).  I suppose no matter how much it sucks, you're being garnished for something you have already done, and it's money you know you owe.  As such, your employer does not need your permission to do it.  They do however have to tell you what agency is collecting the money if you ask them, and the are required to TRY to mail you a copy of the writ.  By them not doing it, it certainly will not stop the garnishment, but you can file a greivance with the state AG.

I have my own checking, my wife has her own and then we have a joint account.   We both contribute to the joint account.  She pays all the bills out of it.   I buy things for me and the house out of mine, she buys things for her and the kids out of hers. If that doesn't work. Take over control of his checking account.  Put him on an allowance.  If he gets it under control then slowly give him his priviledges back.   If he won't let you do that, then divorce him.  See if he can still spend while paying alimony and child support.

They will put a "hold" on the deposit.  When the check clears, they take their fees and then you get access to what is left.

It will still go through regular payroll, so whenever you usually got your checks, i.e., weekly, monthly.

It varies with the store.  Each store deposits their money differently.  Most major stores will deposit their money on the same day, meaning it gets posted the next business day or they deposit the money the following day, which makes the posting two days later.  Smaller retail stores post as little as once a week and then you will have to wait longer.  Although they say the process is faster, it almost always takes about the same amount of time as a regular check.

Refund / Rebate checks will normally be made in the co-signer's name.  Legally, although you are both responsible for the loan, the co-signer is considered the primary account holder.  I am not saying every situation is like this, however it is the norm.

A legal judgment has to be filed against you in a court of law.  Depending on what the garnishment is for (child support, failure to pay a bill, etc.) a copy of the garnishment order is to be delivered to your employer by the county sheriff, and then the employer is to notify you of the action.

My husband and I both have our own separate savings and checking acct as well as one joint acct we both contribute money to as we're both employed.  All the household bills and mortgage payments are taken out of the joint acct.  Personal spending is taken out of our own accts.\n\nThe reason ours is set up this way is because my husband is the bigger spender between us two and we want to have emergency money for "just in case" as u never know if something will come up.  This was an agreed upon arrangement prior to getting married.

Garnishment usually occurs if you don't pay what you're supposed to pay.    \n\nEvery state and every county has its own percentage that can be garnished from your wages.\n\nBut that should not be your only concern.  Garnishment orders are sent to your employer who will know you had a collection case against you.

That would be an illegal garnishment of wages/salary, thus subject to a court order; not a bosses whim or any such contractual obligation. I can not believe the ignorance of some of the answers to this question. It would be a null and void contract, if you signed any such document, so you may wish to contact the proper state/municipal authorities.

you should call your bank that issues your checks immediately if you haven't already done so... They will close your account and you won't be held responsible for those checks.

Your question leaves a little detail out.  If you are worried about a check you DEPOSITED into your account, banks give you conditional credit sometimes for deposit and they can subtract the deposit from your account, if the check is rightfully returned.  That's under your deposit/account agreement with them.  \n\nIf it's a check you gave to someone else, and it cleared your account, that means that it won't bounce back to you "per se" but that the bank will be looking for you to make up any difference in funds short in your account, as an overdraft of your account.  Also in your deposit/account agreement.  Banks have a limited time to allow clearance of funds interbank under the Uniform Commercial Code and don't ask for funds back from another bank if that time period has passed, if they transferred the funds. If you are concerned about a different situation, please edit your question to provide more detail.

Yes, I do. Your money is federally insured - FDIC up to a huge amount of money. Just balance your statements and you'll be fine. When you find a mistake, you call them on it. Usually, they put whatever amount of money is in question back into your account until they finish their investigating of what happened. If they are right, they take the money back out of your account. If the bank is wrong - which I have seen before - they send you a letter saying you were right! That's the best part! But they will send a letter either way.

Your state notifies the other state who files a "Foreign judgement"  If their state law doesn't make the employer send the money weekly you are out of luck.  If it does then you need to have the other state send a compliance order to the workplace.  Be careful tho, cause too much of a stink and he will lose his job (Have seen it over 10 times this year alone)

I work in an accounting firm and I know for a fact that they are direct deposited only on friday's.  Which i will assume means that they are also only mailed on friday's.  the state check doesn't have a set day.  they come whenever.
