Instructions for Renewing a Notice of Garnishment
Your garnishment will expire 6 years after it is issued. If the amount owed to you has not been paid in full,
you may wish to have the garnishment renewed to ensure that the garnishee will continue to make
payments. This must be done before the garnishment expires.
Step 1: COMPLETE and FILE a Notice of Renewal of Garnishment form and an Affidavit for
Enforcement Request (Form 20P) with the court office. The clerk will stamp the notice.
Step 2: SERVE. You then serve a copy of the stamped notice of renewal of garnishment and a blank
Garnishee’s Statement form (Form 20F) on the person or business that has the money (the “garnishee”)
owed to the debtor. You also serve a copy of the stamped notice and the affidavit on the debtor. There are
rules about how this must be done. See the Small Claims Court “Guide to Serving Documents” at the
court office or online at You can get copies of forms at the court office or
online at
Step 3: TERMINATE. Once the judgment has been paid in full, the rules of the court require you to serve a
Notice of Termination of Garnishment (Form 20R) on the garnishee and the court clerk. There are rules
about how this must be done. See the Small Claims Court “Guide to Serving Documents” at the court
office or online at There is no fee.
