If a student loan requires a cosigner is this a bank loan and not a Federal Student Loan and will cosigning affect your potential borrowing power?
A federal Stafford loan does NOT require a cosigner. If you do co-sign a private loan, both parties have liability to the debt. The co-signer is liable for the balance just as if they had co-signed for the student for a car, signature loan, mortgage, etc. It is just a different type of loan that can be taken out from the bank. Liability standards/payment terms can verify by the qualifications of the co-signer or student - so an inquiry to the banking institution you would do these loans for would be the safest bet.
Can a cosigner ask the court to garnish the borrower's wages to make the loan payments?
The cosigner can ask but I seriously doubt they will be successful. The cosigner knew the risks when they signed the loan application. The cosigner knew, or should have known, the borower's history of successful loan payoffs were questionable at best. The cosigner assumed the responsibility when they signed on.
