Interrogatories in aid of execution?

If you have lost a judgement, an Interrogatories in Aid of Execution is a process that you are required to go through. In it, you are required to answer the questions of the lawyer about anything involving your assets and finances, such as where you work, how much you make, details about all of your bank accounts and investments, and assets you own, like cars, real estate, collections, etc.

This is so they have the information to collect off you, either by seizing your accounts or garnishing your wages. If you have a business, they can have the Sheriff show up to take out the cash from your cash drawer.

This can be done in writing, however they can also require you to come to the courthouse and do it in person. If you show up in person, they can claim the money you take with you.

There are generally two things to do, be honest with them, and answer the questions they ask, because you are considered to be given legal testemony under oath so not giving information or giving false information can open you to be in Contempt.

However, you are not required to volunteer information. If they ask you to list all of your investment accounts, then you have to list them. However, if they only ask for your bank accounts, that doesn't mean you have to tell them about your stock trading account.

It really depends on the state your in. Fl is the only state I am aware of that has a "head of household" exemption on garnishment. but every state has different laws. check this site for your state:

I am not sure what state you live in, but I found a link for the State of Maryland of how this is handled there. I am sure that other states would be similar.
