Best Answer

No bankruptcy will not protect you from wage garnishments for certain types of debt. For example, court ordered child support/past due child support, court ordered alimony/past due alimony,student loans, federal taxes,state taxes and county taxes are not covered under the protections of bankruptcy.

Bankruptcy will also not protect you from wage garnisments for court ordered fines,restitution.
