Text

(a) If the judgment debtor objects to the calculation of
the amount of exempt earnings, the judgment debtor shall have
five (5) days, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays,
from receipt of the calculation of exempt earnings within which
to resolve the issue of the miscalculation by agreement with the
garnishee, during which time the garnishee shall not tender any
monies to the clerk of the court. If the objection is not
resolved within five (5) days, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and
legal holidays, the garnishee shall pay the withheld income to
the clerk of the court in which the judgment was entered and the
judgment debtor may file a written objection with the clerk
setting forth with reasonable detail the grounds for the
objection. The judgment debtor's objection shall be filed with
the clerk of court and a copy mailed to the judgment creditor or
his attorney of record within five (5) days, excluding
Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays, from the date the
withheld earnings are received by the clerk of court. If the
objection is not filed within the time allowed, the clerk of
court shall pay the withheld income to the judgment creditor.
(b) Upon the filing of a written objection, all further
proceedings with relation to the disposition of the earnings
shall be stayed until the matter of the objection is determined.
(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a) of
this section, a judgment debtor failing to make a written
objection may, at any time within ninety (90) days from receipt
of a calculation of exempt earnings, and for good cause shown,
move the court in which the judgment was entered to hear an
objection as to any earnings levied in continuing garnishment,
the amount of which the judgment debtor claims to have been
miscalculated.
