Some states do not allow garnishment of wages. Check online by typing in "garnishment, Florida" in your browsers search engine and/or by calling legal aid in your area. Your financial situation usually has no bearing on garnishment or the execution of a properly ordered collection (writ)on a judgment.. as with any legal problem of which you are unsure you should seek legal help. All Social Security and RRB benefits (including disability) are exempted from garnishment under both federal and state laws. Private disability benefit exemptions are generally not subject to garnishment unless they are in connection with a personal injury award. Florida is known as a "debtor friendly" state, meaning that, in most situations it is very difficult for the judgment holder to execute the judgment award.

If you owe state taxes in California can your wages be garnished in Florida?

Most likely yes. Here's how it works. If someone owes taxes and moves out of state, the state they now reside in will usually garnish the persons wages for the other state in the hope they will do it for them too if the need arises. * Not without the State of California filing a civil suit in the Florida's Superior Court in the county where the person resides. This applies to state arrearages only and not IRS action.
