§ 12-850. Order for application of property to satisfaction of

judgment - Contempt proceedings - Installment payments from earnings

- Modification of order.

The judge after the hearing provided herein may order any

property of the judgment debtor, not exempt by law, in his

possession or under his control to be applied toward the

satisfaction of the judgment, and may enforce the same by

proceedings for contempt in case of refusal or disobedience.

The judge may further order the judgment debtor to pay to the

judgment creditor or apply on the judgment in installments, such

portion of his nonexempt income, however or wherever earned or

acquired, as the court may deem proper after due regard for any

payments required to be made by the judgment debtor by virtue of law

or prior order of a court or under wage assignments outstanding.

Where the judgment debtor claims or is proved to be rendering

services to or employed by a relative or other person or by a

corporation owned or controlled by a relative or other person,

without salary or compensation, or at a salary or compensation so

inadequate as to satisfy the court that such salary or compensation

is merely colorable and designed to defraud or impede the creditors

of such debtor, the court may direct such debtor to make payments on

account of the judgment, in installments, based upon a reasonable

value of the services rendered by such judgment debtor under his

said employment or upon said debtor's then earning ability. The

court may, from time to time, modify an order made under this

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 12. Civil Procedure

section upon application of either party upon notice to the other.

A failure or neglect to comply with an order of direction of the

court, shall be punished as for contempt.
