Why Proper Service of Garnishment Matters

Arizona courts require proof that service was performed correctly before a case can move forward. The rules are precise; there is no room for shortcuts.

What Can Go Wrong With Garnishment Service
Even experienced litigants make service errors that derail cases. Common mistakes with garnishment service in Arizona:
Serving the Wrong Person
Documents must be delivered to the exact named party. Serving a family member or roommate without court authorization is not valid personal service.
Using the Wrong Service Method
Garnishment has specific service methods required under Arizona law. Mailing alone or leaving at a door is not personal service.
Missing the Deadline
Arizona requires service within 90 days of filing for most cases. Missing this deadline can result in case dismissal.
Inadequate Affidavit
The affidavit must contain specific information about the service. A vague or incomplete affidavit can be challenged and rejected.
