Unless the garnishment is for child support or spousal support, the most they can garnish is 25% of your net pay and you can only have one garnishment going on at a time.

It is not strictly prohibited by the laws of Florida and South Carolina, however the requirements make it very difficult for a creditor to garnish the wages of the head of household. Wage garnishments cannot run concurrently, this does not mean that it is not possible for a different creditor to levy the debtor's bank account or take other action if they have a valid judgment.
