At present four U.S. states - North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina and Texas - do not allow wage garnishment at all except for debts related to taxes, child support, federally guaranteed student loans, and court-ordered fines or restitution for a crime the debtor committed. Normally the maximum is 25% of wages.

Federal law protects a specific amount of wages 30 x minimum weekly wage ($154.50). A garnishment order is enforced against disposable (all deductions + any child support)income that is above the $154.50. That amount is garnishable by a maximum of 25% under Ohio state law. All wage garnishments can be appealed for reduction or dismissal.
Yes, if they have a valid garnishment writ from the court in the debtor's resident state.
