If it pertains to a creditor, then the garnishment writ cannot be executed until the current garnishment has been satisfied, and only if the judgment creditor has no other means of collecting monies owed (bank account levy, real property lien, etc.) If it is a garnishment for child support that is not considered a "true garnishment" and it takes priority NS the percentage is determined by the presiding judge according to established guidelines (maximum 50% disposable income).

How is the money divided when you have more than one garnishment?

Creditor garnishments must run consecutively they cannot be concurrent. That being the case, the first creditor that executes the garnishment order is paid until the debt is settled. Then the second garnishment (if any will begin). Please note, child support and sometimes spousal maintenance is NOT considered a "true garnishment of wages". Likewise garnishment for federal and/or state taxes are not applicable as such. For example, a child support garnishment can be active at the same time as a creditor judgment garnishment. The percentage of garnishment amounts is determined by the laws of the state in which the garnishee resides.

And in some states garnishment for spousal maintenance can be active while a creditor garnishment is being executed.

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.
