Florida does not have specific laws prohibiting the action, but does have laws that make it very difficult for wage garnishment against the "head of household." * Kansas - Special "purchased paper" law.

Does Mississippi allow wage garnishments?

Yes. After the wage garnisment is served the first 30 days of wages are totally exempt from attachment. After 30 days the garnishment can be a maximum of 25% of disposable income. Garnishments must run consecutively. Garnishment for child support arrearages is not considered a "true garnishment" therefore a creditor garnishment can run concurrently with the child support. Child support garnishment amounts will not be reduced due to another garnishment order.
