Employees resposibility for garnishments for non-employees

In the state of Oklahoma if I receive a garnishment for an person that is no longer employed by my company and if I contact the lawyer stating the fact (3 times) and said lawyer continues to send me garnishment notices then after 6 months the lawyer issues a judgement against my company for the monies that he original wanted to garnish from my ex-employee. Can he do this for one and what are my options if I have a small preschool that is barely making ends meet?

You should have filed an answer to the garnishment on the forms that were sent to you. You should look into filing a motion to vacate default judgment on the garnishment. You likely will need an attorney to file the same for you. You should file the motion to vacate judgment within 30 days of the judgment being filed.
