If your wage is already garnished can they garnish it again before the other one is paid?
Wage garnishment laws and procedures vary by state. Wage garnishment is usually not a one time thing. A wage garnishment order will usually last a specified time or until the judgment is paid in full, whichever comes first. Unless the garnishment is for child support or spousal support, the most they can garnish is 25% of your net pay and you can only have one garnishment going on at a time. A little further information, wage garnishment for creditor debt is not allowed in North Carolina, Texas or Pennsylvania. It is not strictly prohibited by the laws of Florida and South Carolina, however the requirements make it very difficult for a creditor to garnish the wages of the head of household. Wage garnishments cannot run concurrently, this does not mean that it is not possible for a different creditor to levy the debtor's bank account or take other action if they have a valid judgment.
How many garnishments can be taken from your wages?
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.
