This form lets someone ask a court to pause or stop a wage garnishment that was ordered to collect money from a judgment. A person who owes a debt uses this form to request a stay of the garnishment, usually because they claim financial hardship or have a valid reason why the wage deduction should be temporarily halted.

This form has fillable fields — you can complete it directly in the viewer on the right.
