Question

In Indiana can a person garnish wages and put a lien on a house?

Answer 1

Yes, after you take them to court and win a judgment against them you can garnish their wages (25% of disposable incone). You can also seize bank accounts and put liens on their house or any other property they may own.

Answer 2

Depends on the type of debt.

Answer 3

A court can order that, sure.

If you are owed money, then you can sue the debtor for the balance, and depending on the outcome of trial, the court can order garnishments on wages to pay the judgment.

Lien on the house is trickier, unless the debt is related to the building or maintenance of the house.
