12-1598.15. Taxing costs
A. If the garnishee is discharged on his answer, the cost of the proceeding, including reasonable compensation to the garnishee, shall be taxed against the judgment creditor.
B. If there is no written objection to the answer of the garnishee and the garnishee is held on his answer, the costs as provided in subsection A shall be taxed against the judgment debtor.
C. If the answer or nonexempt earnings statement is objected to in writing the costs shall abide the issue.
D. If no objection is filed to the answer of the garnishee, the costs provided in subsections A and B shall not exceed fifty dollars excluding costs of service and the cost of issuance of the writ.
E. While a continuing lien is in effect the garnishee may deduct from the nonexempt earnings of the judgment debtor the amount of five dollars each pay period as a fee for preparing and delivering the nonexempt earnings statement. If there were not sufficient nonexempt earnings to collect this fee, and an amount arising from this fee remains owing when the writ becomes invalid or is released, the amount is chargeable against the judgment creditor and not the judgment debtor.
