re: How to find someone and their employer to activate wage garnishing?

It can be complicated and get expensive as court cost have escalated these days. If you can’t find his job if you have a good address you can have him served for a judgement-debtor examination. A summons to appear in court and answer questions. This is a separate proceeding. Once you know then you can file the garnishment. If they have only been on the job for a short time or it does not pay much , they will likely quit and you get to start over. It sucks, I’ve been in the finance business over 40 years. Judgement gives you the right to collect but you have to do the collecting and the courts or sheriff department will take a commission also. 6% I think . You can also seize certain assets if you can locate any but again there will be advanced cost to each action . Good luck
