    Hello m:

    No. You have NO ability to stop it, and that would be the only reason to give you notice...

    No you are not served notice, your notice or at least your wake up call that they can do so would be when they sued you and got a judgement. Once they got a judgement then they can get a garnishment. So after you were sued and they got a judgement, this should not have really been a surprise

    That depends. Were you aware that a judgment had been awarded against you? If you were, then you would receive no prior notice of the attachment of your assets.

    However, if you had no knowledge of the judgement, then you may get the motion vacated on the grounds of improper service.

    Please do not presume to dictate who may answer your question or how. If you feel an answer has violated the rules of this site, you may use the Report Inappropriate Post link to report it and the moderators will take appropriate action.

    But when you post a question on a site like this, you open yourself to answer that you may not like, but are otherwise valid.

    You didn't answer the question. Were you aware of the judgment or not. If you weren't we can advise on your next step. If you were, then the answers you received are even more valid.
