I believe that the trial court was correct in concluding that Devan Lowe, Inc., was the employer of debtor, Carl Hubbard, and that, therefore, Lowe owed Hubbard $24,350 in wages that were subject to garnishment by Michael Stephens. The basis of a garnishment is not that the garnishee (Lowe) owes any money to the creditor *Page 709 
(Stephens); instead, the debtor (Hubbard) owes the money, and the garnishee is required to pay it only if the garnishee is found to owe money to the debtor.
