Re: Wage Garnishment
No, the max depends on the type of judgment. If it is one for child support, they can take up to 60%, unless you have a second family to support in which case it is only 40 to 50%. Civil Judgments are 25% of net and taxes I believe are 25% (but do not hold me to this). You can get a wage garnishment reduced sometimes if you show you need the money to support a family. email me if you think yo would like some help.
