What is the “Directions to the Sheriff” form that is needed for a garnishment?

This directs the sheriff to whom and where to serve the civil papers. It also provides your contact information if there are questions or refunds to be issued for overages paid for services. (Attorney Offices can supply their own Direction sheet.) You can find a link to a blank form for Garnishments here:
