Best Answer

An individual can have multiple garnishments for debts. However, only one garnishment for debt can be active at a time. Multiple creditors cannot garnish a persons wages at the same time, the first garnishment judgment to be granted takes precedence any/all others follow in a like manner or order.

Please note, garnishments for child support, spousal maintenance, tax arrearages in most cases can be active at the same time a judgment creditor garnishment is imposed.
