Lawyers for former reality TV stars Todd and Julie Chrisley have been ordered by a federal judge to turn over nearly $30,000 being kept in a trust fund in Alabama.

According to court documents, a Writ of Garnishment was issued by the court on Jan. 11 and served upon the law firm Burr & Forman and the Chrisleys. The Chrisleys were told they had the right to request a hearing before the court to determine exempt property and the right to object to the law firm's response to the order. After not hearing from the Chrisleys, the court ordered the law firm on May 16 to turn over the money in the IOLTA account to the court.

In January, they won a lawsuit against Joshua Waites, Georgia's former director of the Department of Revenue's special investigations unit. The Chrisleys sued Waites in 2019, saying they had been unfairly targeted in their tax evasion charge. The Chrisleys were cleared of state tax evasion charges.Shortly after the court's decision, the federal government asked the court's permission to seize the settlement as part of the restitution that the couple owes.
