A Virginia Motion to Quash Garnishment is a legal document that is used by an individual to challenge a creditor’s right to garnish wages or other property from the individual. This motion is generally filed in the circuit court of the county or city where the creditor is located. The goal of the motion is to vacate or set aside the garnishment order. There are two types of Virginia Motion to Quash Garnishments: i) a motion on the grounds of lack of service and ii) a motion on the grounds of exemption. A motion on the grounds of lack of service is used when the individual believes that the garnishment was not served properly. This motion must be filed within 30 days of the garnishment. A motion on the grounds of exemption is used when the individual believes that the garnishment is invalid due to an exemption. This motion must be filed within 10 days of the garnishment. For either type of motion, the individual must provide information such as identification, the name and address of the creditor, the amount of the garnishment, and the reason for filing the motion. The individual must also provide proof of service and any other relevant documents. The court will review the motion and hold a hearing to determine whether the garnishment should be quashed or not.
