What to do if another creditor issues a wage garnishment but one already exists?
In the state of Indiana, only one garnishment can be active at any given time. The other garnishment has to wait until the first one is done. This not include child support. You can have a child support and one garnishment at the same time.
How is the money divided when you have more than one garnishment?
Creditor garnishments must run consecutively they cannot be concurrent. That being the case, the first creditor that executes the garnishment order is paid until the debt is settled. Then the second garnishment (if any will begin). Please note, child support and sometimes spousal maintenance is NOT considered a "true garnishment of wages". Likewise garnishment for federal and/or state taxes are not applicable as such. For example, a child support garnishment can be active at the same time as a creditor judgment garnishment. The percentage of garnishment amounts is determined by the laws of the state in which the garnishee resides.
Can wages be garnished by more than one judgment creditor at the same time in Oklahoma?

Is double garnishment from the same employer legal or can it be stopped?
Wage garnishments by creditors must run consecutively not concurrently. The first creditor to execute a judgment as a wage garnishment has priority until the debt is repaid or satisfied. If there are multiple garnishment orders they will be executed according to the writ of judgment status. This does not pertain to a garnishment for child support and sometimes spousal maintenance (alimony) those are separate issues. If such is the case a creditor garnishment can be enforced concurrently (at the same time), with the child support taking priority.

Can a lawyer issue a garnishment to your employer without you being notified and in Mississippi can they garnish you twice for the same debt?
The garnishee is not notified by the judgment creditor or the court, but the wage garnishment will not begin until 30 days after the writ has been served on the employer; therefore the employer usually notifies the employee that garnishment action is pending. A wage garnishment will remain valid until the total judgment amount is paid in full. Wage deduction for child support is not considered garnishment, thereby allowing a support deduction and a creditor garnishment to be concurrently executed.
You live in Ga you have a garnishment for child support and now you are being garnished by a creditor can they take both garnishment out of yourof my pay at the same time?
Yes, in Georgia, multiple garnishments can be taken from your wages at the same time. However, federal law limits the total amount that can be garnished from your wages in a single pay period. The combined amount taken for child support and creditor garnishment cannot exceed this limit. Be sure to verify the specific rules and regulations in Georgia regarding wage garnishment.
Can you have 2 child support cases for the same child?
Sometimes State child support agencies keep more than account for a child in order to differentiate between current support and arrearages, support owed to the other parent and support owed to the State, or support owed to more than one State. However, only one support order can be in effect for any given period of time.
How do they know how much to take out of your check when they are garnishing your wages?
The federal government sets the maximum wage garnishment for creditor debt at 25% of disposable income, with the first $154.50 ( based on weekly income) being exempt from garnishment . Some states use the federal amount others set their own wage garnishment percentages, the debtor is garnished at the amount that is the lowest. Child support deductions do not count as garnishment and can be set at a maximum of 50% of total income. Additionally child support orders can run consecutively with a creditor garnishment but two creditors cannot garnish the debtor at the same time.
