The number of wage garnishments you can have at one time varies by state and the type of debt. Generally, federal law allows for multiple garnishments, but the total amount garnished from your wages cannot exceed 25% of your disposable income. Some states have stricter limits, so it's important to check local regulations. Additionally, certain types of debts, like child support or taxes, may have priority over others.
