in favor of the People of the State of Illinois, or any agency of the State,
may have an attachment against the property of his or her debtor, or that of
any one or more of several debtors, either at the time of commencement of the
action or thereafter, when the claim exceeds $20,
in any one of the following cases:

 
 
1. Where the debtor is not a resident of this State.

 
 
2. When the debtor conceals himself or herself or 
 
stands in defiance of an officer, so that process cannot be served upon him or her.

State with the intention of having his or her effects removed from this State.

 
 
5. Where the debtor is about to remove his or her 
 
property from this State to the injury of such creditor.

filing of the affidavit required, fraudulently conveyed or assigned his or her effects, or a part thereof, so as to hinder or delay his or her creditors.

filing of such affidavit, fraudulently concealed or disposed of his or her property so as to hinder or delay his or her creditors.

assign, or otherwise dispose of his or her property or effects, so as to hinder or delay his or her creditors.
