Wage garnishment is legal in W.V., the maximum amount for creditor debt garnisment is 20% of disposable income with the first $154.50 of weekly income being exempt. Example: Weekly salary after all deductions...$400 minus $154.50 equals $345.50 x.20 equals $69.10 is the maximum garnishment amount. If the person is paid monthly, the amount of garnisment will be somewhat different. The percentage can be appealed if the person is the main source of family income (head of household0. (W.V. Code 38-5A-1 to 38-5B-1-16).
