Unfortunately a garnishment order does not consider the
financial situation of the garnishee when executed. The state laws
in which the garnishee resides determines the percentage of monies
to be attached.
Federal law protects the first $154.50 (weekly/40hr. based) of
the garnishee's wages. Amounts above the aforementioned are subject
to garnishment as allowed under the laws of the state where the
garnishee works and/or resides.
