HRS §652-10
What happens when a garnished debt is not due yet
Read the official text at capitol.hawaii.gov ↗If a debtor swears under oath that the person holding the money (the garnishee) owes the defendant money, but that money is not due until later, the plaintiff's judgment becomes a lien on that future debt. The lien stays until the debt becomes due and payable.

If upon disclosure made on oath by the debtor it appears that the garnishee is indebted to the defendant, but that the debt is not payable and will not become due until some future time, then such judgment as the plaintiff may recover shall constitute a lien upon the debt until and at the time it becomes due and payable.
