Wage garnishment and bank account collection may be options available to you in either state. In New Jersey, before an application for wage garnishment can be made in a civil court, there are certain procedures and discovery that must be followed. To gain a better understanding of your options, you may consider consulting with a civil attorney in both the state where the defendant is currently based and the state where the judgment was granted.
