Make sure you request a stamped copy of anything you file. The garnishment will continue until the hearing. If the court agrees with your position that your wages are exempt, an order will be entered dissolving the writ and that is what you need your employer to see so the garnishment stops.

But that doesn't always happen- check with your employer.
