TITLE 7: CIVIL PROCEDURE DIVISION 4: JUDGMENTS; ENFORCEMENT OF JUDGMENTS § 4201. Writs of Attachment. (a) Writs of attachment may be issued only by the court for special cause shown supported by statement under oath. Such writs when so issued shall authorize and require the Director of Public Safety, any police officer, or other person named in it, to attach and safely keep so much of the personal property of the person against whom the writ is issued as will be sufficient to satisfy the demand set forth in the action, including interest and costs. The Director of Public Safety, police officer, or other person named in the writ shall not attach any personal property which is exempt from attachment, nor any kinds or types of personal property which the court may specify in the writ. (b) Debts payable to the defendant may be similarly attached by special order issued by the court, which shall exempt from the attachment so much of any salary or wages as the court deems necessary for the support of the person against whom the order is issued or his or her dependents.
