WI Court of Appeals – District III

Garnishment
2014AP1406 Leland G. Christenson, II v. Nikki Lee
Appellant Nikki Lee appeals an order in this nonearnings garnishment action requiring the garnishee to pay Leland Christenson, a creditor of Lee’s, the amount payable under a money judgment Lee obtained in a separate action. Lee advances several arguments in this appeal, all of which we reject, except for Lee’s argument that the order improperly requires the garnishee to make payments to Christenson’s attorney, rather than to Christenson. Pursuant to our authority under WIS. STAT. § 808.09, we modify the order to substitute Christenson, rather than his attorney, as the proper recipient of any garnishment payments made under the order, and we affirm the order as modified.
Decision
