Expert Solution

The correct answer is : If Alex ignores the Garnishment,he may liable to Aaron for up to $ 20000

Since the judgement against Tom required him to pay an amount of $ 20000,Tom's employer Alex is required by the law to hold Tom's paycheck and pay Aaron an amount of $ 100/week.It is Alex's responsibility to pay Aaron and if he ignores the garnishment order,then he is personally liable to pay the entire amount of garnishment.The court might also take disciplinary action against Alex for ignoring the garnishment.
