18-4-117. Effect of termination of employment relationship between garnishee and defendant

Notwithstanding the requirements of Code Section 18-4-113, if the employment relationship between the garnishee and the defendant does not exist at the time of the service of summons of continuing garnishment or terminates during the continuing garnishment, in any answer required by this article the garnishee may state that the employment relationship between the garnishee and defendant does not exist or has been terminated, giving the date of termination if terminated on or after service of this summons of continuing garnishment. If no traverse is filed within 15 days after the answer is served as provided in Code Section 18-4-83, the garnishee is automatically discharged from further liability and obligation under Code Section 18-4-113 for that summons with respect to the period of continuing garnishment remaining after the employment relationship is terminated.
