Section 18-4-82. Contents of garnishee answer

   Within the time prescribed by Code Section 18-4-62, the garnishee shall file a garnishee answer describing what money or other property is subject to garnishment under Code Section 18-4-20. If the garnishee owes the defendant any sum for wages, the garnishee answer shall also state specifically when the wages were earned by defendant and whether they were earned as daily, weekly, or monthly wages. If the garnishee has been served with summons in more than one garnishment case involving the same defendant, the garnishee shall state in each garnishee answer that the money or other property is being delivered to the court subject to the claims of all the cases and shall give the numbers of all such cases in each garnishee answer. If the garnishee is unable to respond as provided for in this Code section, the garnishee's inability shall appear in the garnishee's answer, together with all the facts plainly, fully, and distinctly set forth, so as to enable the court to give judgment thereon.
