12-1598.15. Taxing costs
A. If the garnishee is discharged on his answer, the cost of the proceeding,
including reasonable compensation to the garnishee, shall be taxed against the judgment
creditor.
B. If there is no written objection to the answer of the garnishee and the
garnishee is held on his answer, the costs as provided in subsection A shall be taxed
against the judgment debtor.
C. If the answer or nonexempt earnings statement is objected to in writing the
costs shall abide the issue.
D. If no objection is filed to the answer of the garnishee, the costs provided in
subsections A and B shall not exceed fifty dollars excluding costs of service and the
cost of issuance of the writ.
E. While a continuing lien is in effect the garnishee may deduct from the nonexempt
earnings of the judgment debtor the amount of five dollars each pay period as a fee for
preparing and delivering the nonexempt earnings statement. If there were not sufficient
nonexempt earnings to collect this fee, and an amount arising from this fee remains owing
when the writ becomes invalid or is released, the amount is chargeable against the
judgment creditor and not the judgment debtor.
