If a person has a legal financial judgment against them they can have part of their wages taken by the court. Their wages are garnished and they are the garnishee.
Yes
Unfortunately a garnishment order does not consider the financial situation of the garnishee when executed. The state laws in which the garnishee resides determines the percentage of monies to be attached. Federal law protects the first $154.50 (weekly/40hr. based) of the garnishee's wages. Amounts above the aforementioned are subject to garnishment as allowed under the laws of the state where the garnishee works and/or resides.
Any lender has to get a judgment before they can garnishee anyones wages.Then the debtor has to have wages before any lender can garnishee them. It is up to the lender whether or not they go that route in the collection process.

YES the lender can garnishee the co-signor (NOT co-signors spouse) as well as the signor. Just as the lender CANT garnishee your spouses wages. ONLY those signors of the contract are subject to any collection activities.
The garnishee would need to file a court order to have the bank levy quashed (made invalid). The best option would be for the garnishee to contact a qualified attorney or legal organizaton for specific advice.
