The party seeking a writ of wage garnishment must file a lawsuit against the debtor in state circuit court (sometimes superior court). If a judgment is awarded against the debtor it can be executed as a wage garnishment. The garnishment generally commences 30 days after the order has been served on the garnishee's employer. New York does not use federal wage garnishment law, but uses state law which allows a judgment creditor to garnish 10% of the gross income of the garnishee. This law applies to creditor debt only; it does not apply to court ordered child support, spousal maintenance, student loans or federal or state tax arrearages. The amount that can be garnished concerning cited issues is determined by the court and can be as much as 50% of the garnishee's disposable income.
