Your paycheck can be garnished as many times as you have unpaid creditors. So long as the creditors go to court and obtain court orders, following all prescribed procedures, each is entitled to be paid. If you have no defense to the underlying court case for debt, you have no protection from garnishment other than that which the laws might provide, which typically is that they can't take every last cent, just almost all of it.
By law garnishments cannot run concurrently, meaning that there can only be one garnishment in force at a time. Please be advised, child support and tax arrearage garnishments are not considered "real garnishments" and can be in affect at the same time of a creditor garnishment. Also be advised, the only defense for garnishment for debt is to prove that the debt itself is invalid or after a judgment is entered the judgment is invalid for whatever reason (wrong person named, wrong amount owed, etc.)
