At present four U.S. states - North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina and Texas - do not allow wage garnishment at all except for debts related to taxes, child support, federally guaranteed student loans, and court-ordered fines or restitution for a crime the debtor committed. Normally the maximum is 25% of wages.

State law does not allow wage garnishment for creditor debt. It does allow garnishment for child support, spousal maintenance (alimony), federal and/or state taxes; and in some instances judgments pertaining to personal injury and/or property damage.
If you signed the wage garnishment yes
Georgia has jurisdiction.
Alimony is for spouses so if you weren't married (and Florida does not recognize common law marriage) then you're not a spouse and therefore do not qualify for alimony. You could *possibly* sue for palimony (it's like alimony, but with unmarried couples who cohabited instead of spouses), but it's rarely awarded in any state.
The state uses the federal garnishment amount of 25% of disposable weekly income with the first $154.50 being exempt from garnishment. Tennesee garnishment are generally allowed for a maximum of three months and then the garnishment order must be renewed by the garnisher.
Florida has extremely strict laws concerning wage garnishment when it pertains to the head of household. Generally due process must be followed before writ of garnishment is granted, this means a lawsuit must be won by the plaintiff, a judgment awarded and the judgment allowed to be executed as wage garnishment. FLorida is considered a "debtor friendly" state, meaning creditor attachment upon any type personal or real property is very difficult. This however does not pertain to court ordered child supportand/or spousal maintenance (alimony); federal or state tax issues or in some instances federal student loans.
