Florida can garnish wages primarily due to court-ordered judgments for debts, such as unpaid loans, child support, or alimony. The state allows creditors to seek wage garnishment as a legal remedy to recover owed amounts. However, Florida has strict exemptions and limits on how much can be garnished, typically allowing only a portion of disposable earnings to be taken. Additionally, certain types of income, like Social Security or retirement benefits, are generally protected from garnishment.
