Under federal law adebtor wages cannot be garnished by more than one judgment holder at a time. Garnishments must run consecutively not concurrently.
Child support arrearages/payments and in some states spousal maintenance payments are not considered "true garnishments" and therefore can be enforce at the same time a creditor garnishment is active. It used to be that IRS garnishments could also be active during a judgment creditor garnishment, that is no longer true. If such a situation happens the IRS garnishment takes precedence and the creditor garnishment is halted until the tax debt is satisfied.
In some instances, depending upon the laws of the state an employer can deduct monies from an employees pay without the need for a judgment writ when said employee is in some manner legally indebted to the employer.
If a person finds themselves in any of the situations noted above he or she should consult with an attorney or legal advocate agency.
