what is the maximum wage garnishment allowed in the New Jersey?
*With child support they can take 50% of your net income. This does not include amounts withheld for health insurance, etc, just taxes, medicare, social security. You can easily end up with far less than half of your income to take home.
A judgment creditor can enforce a wage garnishment even if the garnishee's wages are currently attached for child support obligations.
Yes, if the creditor has a court order ruling in their favor for the judgment of the amount owed. However, there is a law in effect that no more than 50% of your wages can be garnished regardless of how many judgments you have against you, and garnishments by the government have first priority.
1. When the court instructs an individual to financially support his/her children, that is not a suggestion. The court may use whatever means it determines necessary to force an individual to meet those obligations.
2. If an individual is not in compliance with the obligations determined by the court, a judge may force compliance by confiscating property or wages. If one job does not provide sufficient income to pay for the obligation, the judge may require that income from a second job be applied to the debt. To my knowledge, the only requirement is that the employee be allowed to keep half of his income.
