Statute 61-3515: Failure of garnishee to pay.
If
after the time the garnishee is to make
payment of funds
or property held under a garnishment, the garnishee fails or refuses to pay or
deliver property
to the judgment creditor, the judgment creditor may file a motion and shall
send a copy of the
motion to the garnishee and the judgment debtor in the manner allowed under
K.S.A. 61-2907, and amendments thereto.
At the hearing on the motion, the court may find the garnishee in
contempt and
punish the garnishee by a fine or
may enter
judgment against the garnishee for such amount as the court deems reasonable
and proper,
including the expenses and attorney fees of the judgment creditor.
