The State of Delaware prohibits bank garnishments with the exception of a tax levy. Just to be clear, the only way that your bank account can be garnished in Delaware is if you owe back taxes.
To clarify about the Delaware bank account: It is not enough just to open the account in Delaware. You have to have a Delaware address on the bank account. The exception is to this is to open an account at a bank that only has branches in Delaware. Then, as I understand it, you can have any address you want on the account.

The bank must adhere to terms of the court order for the levy of the account, and the laws relating to such can greatly differ from state-to-state. In some states a bank account levy is for one time only, and the entire amount of funds in the account can be seized up to the full amount of the judgment. If that does not satisfy the debt, the creditor must go back to court and be granted another judgment for another levy. In other states the account can be levied several times during a specific time period, meaning each time a deposit is made the bank must turn that money over to the judgment creditor. Information on the specific nature of the levy can be obtained from the account manager of the bank where the levy was executed or in some instances from the clerk of the court where the judgment was entered.

That depends upon the laws of the state where you reside or where the bank account is. Normally, when a levy is placed on a bank account, the account is frozen and the account owner is given a certain amount of time to go to court to prove that the levy should not have been placed on the account. The money in the account will not be turned over to anyone until the court orders it. If the account owner fails to make an objection in court within the stated time period, the bank is allowed to assume that the owner has no objection and turn the account funds over to the creditor.
