Wage garnishments by creditors must run consecutively not concurrently. The first creditor to execute a judgment as a wage garnishment has priority until the debt is repaid or satisfied. If there are multiple garnishment orders they will be executed according to the writ of judgment status. This does not pertain to a garnishment for child support and sometimes spousal maintenance (alimony) those are separate issues. If such is the case a creditor garnishment can be enforced concurrently (at the same time), with the child support taking priority.
