I had 25% of my check garnished after never recieving any court order. I am in the process of filing bankruptcy but haven't filed because I haven't paid the lawyer in full. Does anyone know how much they can garbish? Can multiple people garnish? How long does each garnisment last? Thanks for any input.


Garnishments are federally regulated and up to 25% of the disposable amount can be collected from your paycheck. There can be minute changes with the laws in every state. Get confirmed information from your attorney general's office. Two companies cannot garnish at the same time. You should also have a job at the time of garnishment and your employer cannot fire you because of this reason. Garnishments can be renewed by the creditors as per the state laws and they remain valid until paid.
