Timeframe to Respond to a Garnishment

Answered by: 

Question: 
If you are given twenty days to respond to a garnishment, does that mean business days or calendar days?
Answer: 

Garnishments are state law matters, and you should check there for the final word, but it's usually the case that, unless business days are specified, your should count calendar days. If your count lands on a weekend or holiday, state law will tell you whether you need to provide the response on the business day that precedes or next follows the twentieth day.
