The exact procedure varies by state. Here in California, the judgment creditor first has to get a Writ of Execution from the court clerk. You file and application for earnings withholding order and pay a fee to the local sheriff's department. The sheriff will then serve the order on the employer. If the employee does not object, the employer could start the garnishment as early as the next paycheck. You can get as much as 25% of the debtor's net pay.
The wage garnishment process generally takes less than 30 days. It depends on how busy the courts are when it is being processed.

what can the state take from you in a garnishment
After being served with a summons, the process for garnishment or court action can vary depending on the specific details of the case. Generally, it may take several weeks to several months for a judgment to be entered against you and for garnishment or court proceedings to begin. It is important to review the summons carefully and seek legal advice to understand the specific timeline and your options.
A creditor may (but is not required to) issue a garnishment as soon as a judgment becomes final (10 days in general sessions court or 30 days for circuit or chancery court). After an employer receives notice of the garnishment, the employer has 30 days to answer. The employer will then begin withholding wages and sending them to the court.
Garnishment .
Tips are not exempt from garnishment if they are included in a person's hourly pay. A garnishment can take up to 2/3 of a person's income in some states and over 3/4 in others.
Yes, I would think they could take it.
Credit card transactions can take time to process because they involve multiple steps to verify the transaction, including communication between the merchant, the card issuer, and the payment network. This verification process helps prevent fraud and ensures the transaction is legitimate before the payment is approved.
A creditor must go through the proper court proceedings, and a judgment filed against you with the court before wage garnishment can occur. In the state of Delaware, wage garnishment can take up to one month.
It depends on who garnished your wages to begin with. If it was the taxing authority, your state Dept. of Tax, or the IRS, yes the garnishment will include your tax refunds, if the Agent you're dealing with knows what he's doing. Only the government or a judicial court can take a tax refund away from you. If it is a wage garnishment by any authority it will not effect the tax refund. That isn't to say tax authorities won't take the refund...they will (actually, well before they even bother coming after wages). But they do that under a process/law I believe normally called claim of right or offset, not the wage garnishment. Wage garnishment are directed at a specific employer and payroll.
