Attachment of earnings
 | This article needs additional citations for verification. (August 2007) |
Attachment of earnings is a legal process in civil litigation by which a defendant's wages or other earnings are taken to pay for a debt. This collections process is used in the common law system, especially Britain and the United States, but in other legal regimes as well.[1]
Ballentine's Law Dictionary notes that this process is not literal, whereby a "person's property is figuratively brought into the court."[2]
