The exceptions shall be filed within the later of:

(1) 20 days after service of the answers, or

(2) 20 days after the return date of the writ.

In the case of a continuous wage garnishment, the exceptions shall be filed not later than 20 days after service of the answers.

The garnishee's answers to interrogatories are conclusively binding against the garnishor if the garnishor does not timely file exceptions to the interrogatory answers.

(d) Response to Exceptions – Time for Filing. Within 20 days after service of the exceptions, the garnishee may file a response thereto.

(e) Filing. Interrogatories under this Rule 90.07 shall not be filed with the court except upon court order or contemporaneously with exceptions placing the interrogatory answers in issue. However, both when the interrogatories and answers are served, the party serving them shall file with the court a certificate of service.

(a) Notice to Third Parties. If the garnishee's answers to interrogatories disclose that any person other than the debtor and the garnishor claims an interest in all or part of the property subject to garnishment, then the garnishor shall attempt to notify such person of the pendency of the garnishment proceeding and of the right to intervene therein within the time allowed in Rule 90.09(b). Such notification shall be served by mailing the notice by registered or certified mail, requesting a return receipt signed by the addressee only, to the last known address, if any, of each such person disclosed in the garnishee's answers to interrogatories within ten days after service of the garnishee's answers to interrogatories.

(b) Intervention. Any person who claims an interest in the property subject to garnishment may intervene pursuant to Rule 52.12. Persons notified of the garnishment proceeding as provided in Rule 90.09(a) shall move to intervene within fifteen days after receiving the notice.

90.10 | Discharge of Garnishee – Judgment in Garnishment

(a) If the garnishee admits in its answers to interrogatories that any property subject to garnishment is in the garnishee's possession, the garnishee, without further order of the court, shall pay or deliver such property into court or to the attorney for the party on whose behalf the order of garnishment was issued not later than ten days after the return date of the writ of garnishment or levy, or, in the case of a continuous wage garnishment, not later than ten days after the end of each pay period subject to the garnishment. Timely payment or delivery of such property into court or to the attorney for the party on whose behalf the order of garnishment was issued thereby discharges the garnishee from further liability on account of the property subject to garnishment so paid or delivered.

(b) If the garnishor files exceptions to the garnishee's answers to interrogatories or if a third party has intervened as provided by Rule 90.09, the court or jury shall determine all controverted issues raised by garnishor's exceptions to the garnishee's answers to interrogatories, the garnishee's response thereto, and any claim asserted by a third party who has intervened. The court shall enter judgment in accordance with the findings of the court or jury and shall order that any property not previously delivered to the officer or paid into court or to the attorney for the party on whose behalf the order of garnishment was issued within such time as the court shall direct. If the property is not delivered to the officer or paid into court or to the attorney for the party on whose behalf the order of garnishment was issued within such time, the court may enter judgment against the garnishee for the value of the property.

90.12 | Cost and Allowances

(a) Allowance to Garnishee if Interrogatory Answers are Not Excepted to or Denied. If by interrogatory answers not excepted to or denied it appears that the garnishee has property subject to garnishment, the garnishee may deduct a one-time sum not to exceed $20, or the fee previously agreed upon between the garnishee and the judgment debtor if the garnishee is a financial institution, for the trouble and expense of answering and withholding the funds to be paid out of the property subject to garnishment. The fee shall not be a credit against the court-ordered judgment and shall be collected first. The garnishee may file a motion for additional cost, including attorney fees reasonably incurred in answering the interrogatories, in which case the court may make such award as it deems reasonable. The motion shall be filed on or before the date the garnishee makes payment or delivers the property subject to garnishment into court.

(b) Allowance to Garnishee if Garnishor Does Not Recover Judgment Against Garnishee. If the garnishor files exceptions to the garnishee's interrogatory answers but does not obtain a judgment against the garnishee, all of the costs attending such garnishment shall be taxed against the garnishor. The court in such a case shall render judgment in favor of the garnishee and against the garnishor for an amount sufficient to reimburse the garnishee for time and expenses, including attorney fees reasonably incurred. The fact that the garnishee affirmatively asserted in good faith an exemption belonging to the judgement debtor shall not deprive the garnishee of the right to costs and attorney fees as otherwise provided herein.

(c) Allowance to Garnishee in Appellate Court. A garnishee claiming an allowance in an appellate court shall do so pursuant to Rule 84.21.

(a) A judgment creditor may, prior to the expiration of a judgment, file a statement of judgment balance remaining due with the court, and any payment referenced in the statement shall be deemed a payment on the record for the purposes of section 516.350, RSMo. The statement of judgment balance remaining due shall show the amount still owed to the judgment creditor as of a date certain. Copies of the statement shall be served by ordinary mail on the judgment debtor. A statement filed pursuant to this Rule 90.19(a) shall renew the six month filing requirement of Rule 90.19(b), if applicable.

(b) In the case of a continuous wage garnishment or in any case in which the garnishor has elected to have payments made directly to its attorney pursuant to Rule 90.02(e), the garnishor shall file with the issuing court a statement of judgment balance remaining due. The statement shall indicate all payments received by the garnishor within the preceding six months and the remaining unsatisfied portions of the judgment, which may include all unsatisfied post-judgment interest and costs. The statement shall be filed not later than 20 days after the close of each such six-month period. The statement shall be filed with the issuing court beginning six months after issuance of the garnishment and shall continue every six months thereafter until the garnishment is satisfied or no longer effective. Copies of the statement shall be served by ordinary mail on the garnishee and judgment debtor. In the case of garnishment other than a continuous wage garnishment in which the garnishor has elected to have payments made directly to its attorney pursuant to Rule 90.02(e), a statement of judgment balance need not be filed if the garnishor files a new garnishment in the same case and against the same defendant prior to the date the statement would have been required to be filed with the issuing court.

(c) If a garnishor fails to file a statement of judgment balance remaining due as provided in Rule 90.19(b), the court shall, upon its own motion or that of any party or junior garnishor, terminate the garnishment.

(d) Any party may file with the issuing court a motion for accounting of judgment balance up to 30 days after satisfaction of the judgment.

(e) As to any garnishment in effect when the judgment is no longer enforceable for any reason, whether due to satisfaction, accord, setting aside the judgment, reversal on appeal, or otherwise, the garnishor shall provide notice in writing to the garnishee not later than 20 days after such event or occurrence. Any final remittance from the garnishee that exceeds the amount necessary to fully satisfy the judgment, shall be returned within 10 days to the garnishee.
