GUITTARD, Justice.

This garnishment proceeding was brought by an attorney to collect a fee from a former divorce client. The application for garnishment is based on the divorce decree, which is alleged to have adjudicated the amount of the fee and the client's liability for it. The garnishee bank answered that it was indebted to the former client, and the client intervened, denying the existence of a "valid, subsisting and final judgment against her."
