Writ Of Attachment

Question: If you get a writ of attachment from an apartment complex that says I have 24 hours to get out? Will they enforce it, even if it falls on a weekend?? I live in Houston, texas, I should have went to the court session for the eviction but I didnt.

Answer: of course they will enforce it. if they have already had to file it, then they've already spent the money. sometimes a landlord and tenant can come to an agreement without legal proceedings, but if not, it's on (as they say). naturally, they will follow through. unlike personal relationships where people are wishy-washy and even use threats to manipulate each other, businesses are pretty much cut-and-dry. you have less bargaining power there. you should ALWAYS attend meetings and hearings when it is about YOU regardless of your fears or other obligations. it's just good sense and proper for your own best interest. no one else in the world is going to look out for your best interests as well as you can and SHOULD. good luck

Question: whats the expiration on a writ of attachment warrant? Looking up what the expiration is on a writ of attachment warrant is. Like how long you have one before they expire in the state of Indiana

Answer: If you're referring to a "writ of attachment of the body of the person" (issued by the court for violating a court order), the statute does not provide any fixed expiration. Generally, sanctions issued because of contempt of court don't go away until the contempt is remedied.

Question: What is a writ of attachment? I have Oklahoma custody of my grandson. He is in Texas with the other grandmother. He's been there more than six months.I was told by the Texas sheriff that I had to get a writ of attachment to get my grandson back from her. she doesn't want him to leave. I thought custody meant just that. I had the right to go get him. Live and Learn.

Answer: First, do not take legal advise from a Texas Sheriff. If you do have a valid custody order, then you need to get your lawyer to take action to enforce the order. The longer you delay, then you will make it more difficult for yourself to enforce the order b/c the courts will be highly reluctant about destroying the bond the child is developing with his other grandmother.

Question: how do I file a writ of bodily attachment for my ex husband since he didn't pay the purge amount the judge set? the judge in my case set a purge amount of $500 on my ex husband for non paymernt of child support and he did not pay it. He lives in Florida and I live in New York but I do all the filing in Florida since this is where the divorce proceeding took place. I just need to know how to go about filing a writ of bodily attachment.

Answer: First of all a writ of bodily attachment is simply an arrest warrant to bring your husband before a judge who will then try him for contempt. Is this really worth $500? You'll spend more than $500 just to hire an attorney to accompish this so you'll end up with nothing. If you do it yourself, you'll pay over $500 in airfare and travel expenses. If you're doing it for revenge, just remember that these actions are written on your soul.

Question: I read a writ of body attachment which said if it isn't federal you have to be within 100 miles of courthouse? I know someone who fled a contempt charge and was suppose to report to county jail on work release and there is a writ of body attachment and am confused that this is considered federal where they could pick them up in any state or not within 100 miles of the courthouse

Answer: depending on the state, some have changed the latin terms to common language terms: writ = a court order to do something , usually to appear in or report to court. body= person It may be this court is using the new terms of writ of body for the old term used as a writ of habeas corpus meaning to bring the body before a court. as to the 100 miles within, courts have overlapping jurisdiction.

Question: When can a writ of attachment be obtained in California?

Question: does any body know what a writ of attachment is? i need to know how to fill one out.. i was told to do one because my sons dad visitaion rights was over and he has not brought my son back.. the police said they couldn't do anything because it was a civil matter. and the distrcict attorney said i have to fill out a writ of attachement and she said it was hard.. can someone please let me know if its hard to fill one out and what it is? thankyou desperate mom...

Answer: This is what the legal definition is: writ of attachment n. a court order directing a sheriff (or other law enforcement officer) to seize property of a defendant which would satisfy a judgment against that defendant. but this is not really going to do you any good. I don't know why the DA said that is what you need. You need either a lawyer (try legal aid if you have no money), or go to your version of Family Court and explain the situation and ask for emergency papers to be filed. They may be able to help you. Also, you need to know what your custody papers actually say. If you have joint custody or sole custody, etc. That may make a difference. Have those paper with you if you can. You need to get the legal system involved to get the police involved, as far as I know, in a civil matter.

Question: Writ of Attachment Child Support? My other half has just been incarcerated due to child support. He has a "Bond Type" as Purge", Also has a set Bond in the range of about $1600.00 . Owes in back child support over $20,000. How long should I expect him to be incarcerated? I have no intention in bonding him out.

Answer: A 'purge bond' is the amount he has to pay to be released from jail. That amount ($1,600.00 in your case) is put towards the amount of back child support he owes - it isn't returned to whoever posts the bond for him. He'll be there as long as it takes for someone to pay this money.

Question: is a writ of attachment a felony? my nephew said that if he didnt pay the check into cash place ,he would get one...he has no money and no job and i cant help him nor his mom and dad.we have done enough already!...just didnt know how much trouble he would get into...he is 20 years old

Answer: As I know it is to enable someone WHO holds a judgment to attach someones assets. If I am wrong .... sorry.

Question: A writ of attachment against my father is attaching my assets. How much for an attorney get my assets off? We have the same first and last name. These items in question were in my name since before the lawsuit was commenced. My father is a co-defendant that is not defending himself due to the amount of money it would cost compared to his total assets. The main defendant probably will not show so I believe that the lawyers tactic was just to tie up everything and get a default judgment. I have researched legal aid and have not gotten a response. Other local attorneys want to charge for a phone consultation just to figure out an estimate. I am not named in the case and I just want a ballpark figure for what it would take to file something to counter the writ. I know there can be variances but I need the cheapest route besides the non responsive legal aid people. Thanks for your insight, your help and your responses. The writ is in California Superior Court and it is against some defaulted Deeds of Trust I hold in Monterey County. I am a Florida resident.

Answer: i would have your father file a motion to abate, or if he is going to file an answer file an answer with a plea in abatement. this hsould be done because of a defect in the defendants name, for example i am guessing he is a Sr. or 1st or something right. that will help to clarify which person they are trying to get money from. this wont dispose of the suit, just make the plaintiff file the suit over again with the defects corrected. it keeps you from daddys mess and if your dad is a defendant he HAS to file an answer and appear, or he will be held liable as well as the other defendant too

Question: filing of writ of attachment.? we bought a house and lot in the philippines from the owner A, we have the deed of sale, we paid the balance loan of owner A at SSS, tittle is not yet transfered under our name until now (10 years passed). Now one company B (where owner A owned big amount of money company B) claiming the house and lot because the filed writ of attached against the previous owner A, (the company paid the taxes/amiliar) which we did not paid from 10 years. Please advised how can solve this issue inorder for us to claim the tittle under our name.. thank you...

Answer: You will have to speak with a lawyer to learn the answer to your question and what legal alternatives you may have. Depending on the law in the Philippines you may not have clear title, and the prior lien, if properly obtained, executed and recorded may have priority that would affect or eliminate your claim to ownership.

Question: If you have a writ of bodily attachment & are in jail does the whole amount have to be paid before your releas?

Question: What is writ of body attachment?

Answer: It is the civil equivalent of a bench warrant issued by a court. Typically, it is used where someone has failed to obey a civil court order, such as not paying child support, refusing to turn over properry or ignoring a subpoena. The Sheriff will arrest the miscreant & bring him before the judge to explain why he shouldn't be committed to jail for civil contempt.

Question: writ of body attachment? How would I get a writ of body attachment lifted or vacated?

Answer: You should immediately hire a lawyer. Body attachment means arrest and confinement. If you are in custody it is usually a motion to vacate, and failing that, a petition for writ of habeas corpus to an appellate court. If you are not in custody, then you still need to move to vacate it. However, this is a real question mark. Why is there a writ out there? One basis is civil like failing to respond to a subpoena, and another is criminal for failing to appear in court for a trial or hearing. There are other versions for non-payment of child support, and various other matters, like failing to abide by a court order. Since your question leaves too many possibilities open, there are few choices other than a motion, and failing that, a writ of habeas corpus to an appellate court.

Question: Is there a "Writ of bodily attachment" out against Scott Storch? see details below? Is it true that a Miami judge executed a "Writ of Bodily Attachment" out against Scott Storch for his arrest for failure to pay child support for one child totaling $30,000 and also $16,000 that was supposed to go for a college fund? Is it also true that he owes a total of $511,839.16 back property taxes for the years 2006 and 2007 on his $10.5 million Miami home? He also owns his own record Label, Scott Storch Records and his own Music Production Co, Tuff Jew Productions, LLC.

Answer: Yes it is true. He has a bi-racial son who he didn't claim because I think he didn't know it was his (perfect case of Maury). Maybe he thought he would look "cooler" if he didn't pay his child support...

Question: what does "writ of body attachment issued with purge bond of $2500.00" mean?

Question: WHAT DOES WRIT RETURNED UNEXCITED MEAN? WHAT DOE WRIT OF ATTACHMENT RETURNED UNEXECUTED MEAN?

Answer: It means that no action has been taken. Often this is because the writ either contains an error that means the person to whom the attachment is to be made cannot be found, or the person is no longer employed by the firm (I am making assumptions about the kind of attachment)

Question: Are Texas Family Court Orders enforceable in California? My ex husband has disappeared with our daughter. I have gone to court and have a Temporary Restraining Order blocking his contact with her now and a Writ of Attachment joining her to me. I do not know where he is, but I did get a couple of leads today that he may be in California. Our custody case is in Texas. Are my Texas court orders enforceable in California?

Answer: If your husband is found in California with your daughter, your Texas Court Orders will be strictly enforced under the California adaptation of the Uniform Child Custody Act. The various U.S. states cooperate among themselves to avoid precisely the situation you face. My prayers are with you. Best wishes for your daughters earliest return.
