What is the name of your state? fl
I filed for BK and everyone has been notified Suggestion of BK.
Two days after I filed BK one of my jobs, which is a comission only job if and when I sell any real estate,received a continuing writ of garnishment. I told my BK atty. and they told me to tell employer to call other atty. to hear from them, that I filed BK. My question is how do I get this order removed so in the future I wont have to deal with it?

Well, did your employer contact the creditors attorney?
If so, that's likely all you need. I do think it ould be professional for your attorney to send the creditors lawyer a formal letter staing that you are his/her client and on such and such a date filed for bk and give the filing number. The letter should also state that all collection activity should stop until the k is sorted out.
You are protected by an automatic stay until the bk is discharged. Once that's done, the stay morphs into a permanent injunction prohibiting creditors from attempting any collection activity.
Have you and your lawyer discussed getting the judgment vacated once the bk is dischrarged?

Thx for reply My Atty. notified Collection Atty. That I filed BK and we have a trustee meeting in two weeks. I was just wandering if I should get that order removed or does it dissapear when the BK is done. I will ask my Atty. about vacating the judgment. THX
