If you file a motion to show cause for the simple purpose of stopping the garnishments, you could end up worse off than you were before. If you already know what the cause is, this probably wouldn't be a wise idea. Courts don't like it when people waste their time with dishonest motions and you could possibly end up having to pay your opponents legal costs, or worse. There are legal remedies available if you are entitled to avail yourself of them. Bottom line: you need to find an attorney, licensed in your state, to help you. Nobody else is capable of giving you the advice and assistance that you need, so don't act upon such advice. If you can't afford counsel, look for Legal Aid/Legal Assitance outfits in your area, or for nearby law schools which may operate clinics for indigents.

this happened to me twice, an attorney froze my checking account. the second time he did it i went to civil court, and filed a show cause order with the court, the show cause order stop's the attorney from assessing your account, until you go before the judge, this will work. good luck!

You need to speak with a lawyer who is familar with the laws of your state. In most states, you can "freeze" a joint account if you have a judge against one of the account holders and a writ of execution allow the Sheriff to do a bank levy. If the joint account holder wants to file a claim for release of some or all of the funds, you need contact the court or the sheriff to determine the specific procedures and forms needed.

Your report is a little difficult to follow. However, it sounds as if your and/or you husband have a judgment against. It also sounds like they did a bank account levy and a wage garnishment. Most states allow you to file a Claim of Exemption if the amount taken from your bank or paycheck is not sufficient for you to meet your basic needs. You will need to contact the court or the levying officer about the procedure. You might also contact a bankrupty attorney. Bankruptyc can stop the wage garnishment right away.
