Federal garnishment law allows up to 25% of disposable income be garnished. However, every state has laws controlling wage garnishments, the majority are more favorable to the debtor. Some states do not allow garnishment of wages at all. In any case, the debtor is allowed to choose whichever law (State or federal) that gives them the most protection.

Is a monthly payment in excess of 50 percent of net income considered an undue hardship in a bankruptcy case regarding student loans?
First of all, if the student loans are Federally funded, they cannot be discharged in BK. A hardship discharge is granted only when the loan holder has become disabled. The disablity has to be severe enough, there is no possibility of the debtor ever having earnings or assets to repay the loans. Any other hardship defense, has to prove, the debtor will not be able to afford the "necessities of life." Those being the obvious, food, shelter, medical care, support of dependents, etc. Sorry, it occurred to me you must be referring to a Chapter 13 rather than 7. Nevertheless, the premise is the same. To have payments reduced the debtor has to prove the amount would indeed make it impossible for he/she to provide for everyday necessities.

This is a petition filed by a student loan debtor in 2 circumstances: 1) to appeal administrative wage garnishment on the grounds that is poses an undue hardship to the borrower or their Dependants, or 2) an adversary proceeding in bankruptcy court where a debtor attempts to prove that their student loans should be permanently discharged because repayment would cause undue hardship to them or their Dependants.

If sued for a credit card debt and there are not any assets will wages still be taken even if it causes hardship?
Decisions concerning wage garnishment and the amount that can be garnished are left to the presiding judge. The maximum amount under federal law is 25% of disposable income with the first $154.50 of weekly salary exempt from garnishment. Many states have established garnishment laws where the percentage allowed is lower than the federal; the lowest percentage is the one that is applied. All garnishment action is subject to appeal and modification if the garnishee can present proof that it would constitute an "undue hardship" on themselves and/or dependents.

Does a judge have to specifically state conditions of undue hardship have been met to discharge a student loan and if so starting when was this required?
Yes, in order to discharge student loans which fall under the criteria in 11 USC 523(a)(8), the Bankruptcy Judge has to specifically declare the repayment of the student loans to constitute an undue hardship on the debtor or a dependent of the debtor in order for the student loans to be discharged. To get the Court to do this, yu have to file an Adversary Proceeding (i.e. a federal lawsuit) against the student loan lender during the pendency of your bankruptcy case. Also, the standard for "undue hardship" is very tough, unless you're like 97 years old or permanently paralyzed, you better plan on paying them!
