What are the laws regarding garnishment of wages?

Answer by  Zorfandel (398)

You may be garnished of wages for federal and state tax leans for up to the amount you earn minus the minimum determined to pay your other obligations

A court judgment is required to garnish wages unless it is a tax debt. You must have enough money left over after garnishment to live.

Your wages cannot be garnished without a court order for debt or child support. However, the IRS can garnish wages without getting a court order first.

The rules for this vary greatly from state to state. Generally, some sort of court order is required for it to happen, but you need to talk to a lawyer.
