    Monetary default judgments
    What is the process of collecting on a monetary default judgment in the state of Michigan in the county of Wayne? I was awarded a judgment on September 2006. I know where the defendant works and I want to garnishee his paycheck.

    Go back to the court that issued the judgement and ask for a writ of garnishment. Then hire a sheriff to serve the writ on his employer.

    You can ask the court to schedule a judgment debor hearing and bring the party in and askd his question about his assest.

    The OP knows where the debtor works, why would she need to bring him in and further alert him?

    When you have a judgment it is up to you to collect on it. The court will not do for you. You can try to collect by getting a writ of execution, garnishment, etc. and go through the process of serving the document on the person who has the asset. If you don't have any information but suspect that the defendant has some asset that you can reach, you bring him to court and place him under oath and ask anything you want. If he lies, and you prove it, he is in contempt of court and can go to jail for lying to the court. Get it. It is a strategy to make him pay.

    I don't disagree with any of that. But you miss my point. The OP knows where he works. The OP's question was how to institute a garnishment. You did not address the OP's question in any way.
