How long is a writ effective
How Long are Writs Effective?
A writ is effective for 182 days for judgments issued after 8/8/2001 (for judgments issued before 8/8/2001, a writ is good for 91 days).
The effective period starts when writ served on garnishee, or when a writ a prior writ expires. Once a judgment creditor’s writ expires, he/she will have to get a new writ from the court and serve it on the garnishee, unless the judgment has been satisfied.
