No, in fact it gives rise to a cause of action (in the same case that caused the garnishment) for fraud; or fraud of a fiduciary (depending on how the garnishment is handled).

Yes, a creditor can garnish your wages after a property garnishment has been dismissed.

It's important to note that laws regarding garnishment can vary by state, so it's advisable to consult with a legal professional for specific guidance.

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.

If you go on disability can you still be garnished by a sheriff or creditor even though the garnishment has already started?

Garnishment orders apply to wages or in some cases bank accounts. Sheriff's do not garnish wages they just serve the garnishment order. If you are not being paid by an employer there are no wages to be garnished. Disability benefits are exempt from creditor garnishment. They are not exempt from garnishment for tax arrearages or child support.


Can more than one creditor issue a bank garnishment and payroll garnishment at one time?

Not by creditors. The exception to multiple wage garnishments are, child support, federal or state tax arrearages and in rare cases spousal maintenance. Therefore a creditor could garnish wages at the same time of garnishment by the aforementioned.
