Colorado Revised Statutes Title 13. Courts and Court Procedure § 13-54.5-104. Priority between multiple garnishments

(1)(a) Only one writ of continuing garnishment against earnings due the judgment debtor shall be satisfied at one time. When more than one writ of continuing garnishment has been issued against earnings due the same judgment debtor, they shall be satisfied in the order of service on the garnishee. Except as provided in this subsection (1), a lien and continuing levy obtained pursuant to this article shall have priority over any subsequent garnishment lien or wage attachment.

(b) Where a continuing garnishment has been suspended for a specific period of time by agreement of the parties pursuant to the provisions of section 13-54.5-102(2), such suspended continuing garnishment shall have priority over any writ of continuing garnishment served on the garnishee after such suspension has expired.

(2)(a) Any writ of continuing garnishment served upon a garnishee while any previous writ is still in effect shall be answered by the garnishee with a statement that he has been served previously with one or more writs of continuing garnishment against earnings due the judgment debtor and specifying the date on which all such liens are expected to terminate.

(b) Upon the termination of a lien and continuing levy obtained pursuant to this article, any other writ of continuing garnishment which has been issued or which is issued subsequently against earnings due the judgment debtor shall have priority in the order of service on the garnishee, and no priority shall be given to any previous continuing lienholder whose lien has terminated. The person who serves a writ of continuing garnishment on a garnishee shall note the date and time of such service.
