Reducing percentage of garnishment
Is there anyway that I can request a lower percentage come out of my paycheck. I cannot afford to live with the amount that they are taking out.

Depending on what type of garnishment it is, yes you can. Talk to someone in your payroll department to ask for a contact person for the garnishment. (if you don't already have one) Give them a call, and ask if you can do a voluntary garnishment, and reduce the % that you're paying. They will usually agree! This will also save you on interest in most cases. Hope this helps!

My employer has reduced my hours to almost nothing and is trying to get me to quit due to a wage garnishment - is this legal?

I would lose my house if my paycheck was $186 a week! I clear $1,250 every 2 weeks. plus I work a part time job where I clear at least $100 a week. I am half supporting my younger daughter who has a mental disability, I carry the health insurance for myself and my disabled husband, and my oldest daughter was out on disability all summer. Also, my Mom is in nursing home with alzheimers. Talk about "pouring rain" LOL
I am juggling so many balls......I'm hoping to be able to settle my cc before it comes to garnishment or a lien against my house. On a brighter note I'm out from under the pdls, except for Eastside Lenders who "sicked" Watson Smith (whatever they're called) on me. Sent them a proposal last Friday but haven't heard anything.
They say the Lord doesn't give you more than you can bear, but I'm calling for a "Time Out"!
I married and found out my new Hubby has a dozen or so judgement
I married and found out my new Hubby has a dozen or so judgements. He refuses to file bankruptcy, and now they are taking $600 a month out of his paycheck.
How do I file to change his Head of Household status so they can only take 15%, instead of 25%?
Also, so many of these debts/judgements, he wasn't even made aware of. How can he find out what these original debts are for?

IMO its already late for your husband to dug the creditors. For how long are these garnishments taking place? Normally there is a time period within which one may have to appeal against a judgment if he/she wasn't made aware of the lawsuit and/or has reasons to believe that the judgment was wrongly placed.
Considering bankruptcy may be a good option since it'd put stop to the garnishments.
