A Tennessee Motion to Quash Garnishment/Execution and Claim Exemption Rights is a legal document used to dispute a judgment creditor's attempt to levy a judgment against a debtor's property. This motion can be filed in order to stop the garnishment of wages and other funds, and also to assert a debtor's right to certain exemptions that may be available. There are two types of Tennessee Motion to Quash Garnishment/Execution and Claim Exemption Rights: Short Form and Long Form. The Short Form is used when the judgment creditor has not yet obtained a writ of execution from the court. The Short Form contains a statement of the debtor's objection to the garnishment and the grounds for the objection, such as an exemption from garnishment, a dispute of the debt, or a procedural issue. The Long Form is used when the judgment creditor has already obtained a writ of execution from the court. The Long Form contains the same information as the Short Form, but also includes any defenses the debtor may have, such as lack of jurisdiction, improper service of process, or statute of limitations. Both forms of the Tennessee Motion to Quash must be filed in the county court where the judgment was entered in order to stop the garnishment and claim any exemptions. If the motion is approved, the court will issue an order that stops the garnishment of wages and other funds and allows the debtor to claim any exemptions that may be available.
