If after the time the garnishee is to make payment of funds or property held under a garnishment, the garnishee fails or refuses to pay or deliver property to the judgment creditor, the judgment creditor may file a motion and shall send a copy of the motion to the garnishee and the judgment debtor in the manner allowed under K.S.A. 60-205, and amendments thereto. At the hearing on the motion, the court may find the garnishee in contempt and punish the garnishee by a fine or may enter judgment against the garnishee for such amount as the court deems reasonable and proper, including the expenses and attorney fees of the judgment creditor.
