Garnishments must run consecutively. This means that only one creditor garnishment can be active at the given time. The maximum amount of garnishment is 25% of disposable income that amounts to more then $290 (weekly based). Under federal guidelines the first $217.60 (weekly based) disposable income is exempt from garnishment action. If the state of residency's garnishment laws are less than the federal amount that percentage is used instead.
Please note, child support, tax arrearage and bankruptcy court ordered garnishments can be implemented at the same time a creditor garnishment is in force. Likewise, in some U.S. states spousal maintenance can also be active as a garnishment in conjuction with the aforementioned debts.
The best option for anyone facing possible garnishment action is to consult with a qualified attorney or legal organization. Most attorneys offer free consultations and there are also many who will charge only a minimal fee for a 15-30 minute consult.
