What should I do if I was served with an order to show cause why I should not be punished for contempt of the court?

Daniel A. Edelman
Answered by attorney Daniel A. Edelman
Bankruptcy lawyer at Edelman, Combs, Latturner & Goodwin, LLC
It appears that you may have grounds to vacate the judgment. Comply with the order. Get the court file and make a copy of the return of service. If you can show it is false, you need to file a motion to quash service/ vacate judgment. It needs to be supported by your affidavit and as much corroboration as possible. If it claims you were served personally, you need to establish an alibi if possible. If it says someone else was served, you need to show it was not member of household or that they were not served.

Can I garnish my son's wages?

Answered by attorney Edward M Olson (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Olson Law Firm
Garnishment is a legal process that is only available after you obtain a judgment. So, you must sue your son first (or have him sign a consent judgment) before you can garnish any wages. It is possible for your son to authorize automatic withholding on each paycheck of a certain percentage or dollar amount. This would be voluntary and could be stopped any time by your son. But it would also have the features of a garnishment... that is, money taken out of each paycheck.

Can a hospital bill be sent to a collection agency when you are making payment ($100 or more) per month?

William H Nebeker

Bankruptcy lawyer at Havens Law, LLC
If your bill is past due, then the hospital has the right to send the bill to a collection agency. They can do this if you miss a payment or believe that you are not paying your debts down fast enough. Unfortunately, medical debt is not subject to the tougher restrictions of credit debt.
