More details to this question:
I filed a garnishment on my ex-wife for money she owes me. She filed an exemption on it so we had a hearing and she lost. She has been garnished twice and I have not received any money.

The party or institution that you filed the garnishment against usually waits until the appeal period (21 days) passes before they pay the money.
If the money was ordered to be paid into the court it will probably take some extra time for the court to process the money and send it to you, if this does not happen within a week after the 21 days go by you should probably contact the court clerk and ask when they are going to send the money.
If it was ordered that the money be paid directly to you, you should contact the garnishee defendant after 21 days elapse to find out when they are going to pay.

It sounds like you need to talk to an attorney. There is no way to answer your question without a lot more information.

It depends on the garnishing agencies. If we went through the local constables office, it usually took about six weeks for us to receive a check. You can always call to check on it.

Her filing her motion/objection to the garnishment stayed the garnishee defendant's obligation to pay forward the money. Make sure the garnishee defendant has received the order denying her request so it knows to pay the garnishment.

In New Jeresy the garnishment usually goes to a Sheriff for the county where you filed it. Contact them to see why there is a delay.

Typically it will take 21 to 28 days from the garnishment to receive your money. In your case from the date of the hearing.

Contact the garnishee and give them a copy of the courts ruling. A garnishee order is the proper document. That directs the garnishee to pay the funds over.

Within 45 days or so of the garnishment.

Contact the garnishing agency. If it is the Sheriff, I believe in NJ they distribute quarterly.
