Garnishment refers to monetary recovery usually in the form of wage or bank account garnishment. Creditors are awarded judgments when they prevail in a lawsuit, judgments can be executed in several ways, garnishment of wages or levy of bank accounts, liens against real property and the seizure and sale of non-exempt property belonging to a debtor. All states have a set of exemptions that can be used by the debtor to protect real and personal property. It is highly unlikely that a creditor would attempt to enforce a judgment against items such as household furnishings even if the state exemption did not fully cover the items. Exemptions that are used to protect property against creditor attachment relating to a judgment are the same as those used in bankruptcy. There are also federal non-bankruptcy exemptions that can be used in certain circumstances.

What would qualify as a hardship defense to stop wage garnishment?

The law does not recognize "hardship" as a valid defense against the execution of a judgment writ in any manner including income garnishment. The judgment debtor/garnishee can file a motion requesting the lowering of a garnishment amount due to the fact that it constitutes a 'hardship' upon themselves and/or their immediate family. An example would be the maximum garnishment (25% of disposable income) granted against the head of household that results in she or he being unable to properly clothe, feed, house, provide medical care, etc. for his or her dependents.
