(1)After an execution of fieri facias, directed to the county in which the judgment was

rendered, or to the county of the defendant's residence, is returned by the proper

officer, either as to the whole or part thereof, in substance, no property found to

satisfy the same, the plaintiff in the execution may by an amended and supplemental

petition filed in the action have the same redocketed and join with the execution

defendant or defendants any person believed to be indebted to him or them, or to

hold money or other property in which he or they have an interest, or to hold

evidences or securities for the same. Upon the filing of such amended petition the

case shall be transferred to the equity docket and summons issued thereon. In such

supplemental proceeding or in a separate suit in equity against such parties (at his

option) the plaintiff may have discovery and disclosure from the judgment creditor

and his debtor or bailee, and may have any property discovered, or a sufficiency

thereof, subjected to the satisfaction of the judgment.

(2)In such action the plaintiff may have an attachment against the property of the

defendant in the execution, pursuant to the attachment procedures provided for in

KRS Chapter 425.
