Yes, your employer/wages can be garnisheed as many times as it takes for the creditor to collect the whole judgment amount, including interest, court costs and statutory attorney fees. You have the power to stop it, however, if you promptly contact an experienced bankruptcy lawyer. A chapter filing generally stops wage garnishments permanently, provided that a bankruptcy discharge is granted and the creditor is properly listed.

This answer is not legal advice and I am not your lawyer just because I answered it on a public website, so if you want real legal advice, you need to discuss this issue with your own lawyer.
