26-2-115. Examination of judgment debtor.

(a)  Upon proper application by the judgment creditor, the judgment creditor may examine any person, including the judgment debtor, in order to determine the truth and correctness of the facts stated in the judgment debtor's listing as provided in § 26-2-114.

(b)  Upon application of the judgment creditor, the court may inquire into the truth and sufficiency of the debtor's claim for exemption, and may, where the debtor knowingly makes false claim for exemption, enter an order denying the debtor the right to make further claim for exemption as to that creditor's judgment. The clerk shall immediately forward a copy thereof to the employer. The creditor may likewise challenge the employer's answer in the manner now provided by law.
