If the question asks about past lawsuits and the like, you'd have to disclose the garnishment, since it is the product of an adverse legal action, a  judgmement, against you.If the question asks only about current lawsuits against  you, then you would not need to disclose the garnishment--the judgment that initiated it is the past. However, if the  question asks about any judgments or debts you owe, then again, you would need to disclose it.Your disclosure obligatons therefore depend on precisely what the question asks.
