Do they have to leave you enough money to pay your bills when your wages are garnished?

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.

What does 'Answer of Garnishee' mean in the state of Iowa. My record shows this as the last action taken in a case with a creditor that attained a judgment against me. The action was in Oct. 2011?

In Iowa, an "Answer of Garnishee" refers to the response filed by a third party (the garnishee) who has been ordered to withhold funds or property from a debtor to satisfy a creditor's judgment. This document typically indicates whether the garnishee holds any assets belonging to the debtor and outlines the amount that can be garnished. If your case has this notation from October 2011, it likely means that a garnishee responded to a garnishment action related to the judgment against you at that time.

What is a garnishee defendant?

A garnishee defendant is a third party that holds funds or property owed to a debtor and is ordered by a court to turn over those assets to a creditor. In a garnishment proceeding, the creditor seeks to collect a debt by obtaining a portion of the debtor's income or bank account directly from the garnishee. The garnishee is typically a bank, employer, or other entity that has financial obligations to the debtor. This legal process allows creditors to enforce judgments and recover amounts owed.
