In the State of NM if you net less than $200.00 per week, they will not garnish your wages but you have to make payment arrangements through the court. At least that's how it was back in 1995. As far as your bank account goes you should call you bank and ask that question.

In CA, up to 25% of the debtor's net disposable earnings can be garnished. Once the levy has been served on the employer by the sheriff or marshal, it remains in effect until the judgment has been paid in full. Because California is a community property state, the wages of a non-judgment debtor spouse are also subject to levy.
In CA, a bank account can be garnished up to the full amount of a debt or the entirety of the deposits.

Wisconsin Wage Garnishment
[INDENT]Wage garnishment actions are considered separate actions under Wisconsin Statute, requiring the payment of a filing fee and issuance of the earnings garnishment notice to the employer and employee, which can be accomplished by first class mail.
Upon issuance of the earnings garnishment, the garnishment will remain in effect for a period of 13 weeks. At the end of this time period, a new garnishment action must be commenced, unless the previous garnishment was voluntarily extended.
Typically, 20% of a debtor's net earnings after withholding taxes and Social Security can be taken by a creditor. A debtor does have the right to assert various exemptions to the garnishment, including income below the Federal Poverty Guidelines, eligibility to receive foods stamps or medical assistance, or court-ordered assignments of child support that exceed 25% of the debtor's wages.
