Subject: [cdcbaa] Wage Garnishment on a Foreign Judgment
Local employer with an office in Virginia gets served in Virginia with a writ of garnishment (wages) for a CA employee and honors it. PC needs a little exemption planning so we have to wait to file his 7. Has anyone experienced this situation? It seems to me that a judgment has to be domesticated in CA to garnish the assets or wages of a CA resident (to allow the Debtor an opportunity to properly claim his CA exemptions). But I don't see where that is expressed under CA law. In fact, the only case law that I found after a brief search was a CA Appelate case holding that a pre-judgment attachment issued in CA against a non-resident corporate defendant was constitutionally acceptable (Property Research Financial v. Macco Corp.). But I don't think that case would be controlling under these facts.
