    Garnish bank account to satisfy judgement
    I need some help please. I have a monetary judgement against my ex-husband. It was issued by a Colorado court, where we lived. My ex has moved to Arizona. He banks at US Bank which is nationwide. Can I take my judgement to a local bank in Colorado and seize the funds in his account? If not, what do I need to do to accomplish this? Thank you for any guidance you can provide.

    How To Garnish Wages and Bank Account
    I have a monetary judgement against my ex-husband. It was issued by a Colorado court, where we lived. It is not for child support. My ex has moved to Arizona where he now works and banks. Although he was ordered to begin monthly payments by the Court, he has made no payments.

    What motion(s) do I need to file with the Colorado court to now garnish both his wages and bank account? It is called a Writ of Execution for both? Can I do it all in one motion? What does the motion need to specifically say?

    Also, once I have that from the Colorado court, do I have to also get it domesticated in the Arizona court or can I simply have it served on his employer and bank out in Arizona?

    Thank you again for any guidance you can provide.

    Questions should he combined - same issue.

    Small Claims Judgment or superior court?

    Register the judgment in Arizona.

    Revised Uniform Enforcement of Foreign Judgments Act sect. 1702

    Then it's basically treated like an Arizona judgment.

    It was a result of our divorce and property settlement agreement in District Court. The judgement was granted by the District Court Magistrate in Colorado.
