earnings, salary, income from trust funds, or profits are due and owing to the judgment

debtor, or thereafter become due and owing to him, to the amount of $48.00 or more

a week, the judgment creditor may, on notice to the judgment debtor unless the court

otherwise orders, apply to the court in which the judgment was recovered, or to the

court having jurisdiction of the same, and upon satisfactory proofs, by affidavit

or otherwise, of such facts, the court shall grant an order directing that an execution

issue against the wages, debts, earnings, salary, income from trust funds, or profits

of the judgment debtor. b. Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection a. or any other law to the contrary,

as defined in section 1 of P.L.2005, c. 124 ( C.2A:16-11.1 ), such application may be filed with the Office of Administrative Law rather than
