If your wages are garnished, there's a limit to how much of your wages a creditor can take. Usually, that limit is 30% of your net income. However, if the creditor is claiming spousal or child support payments, they can take up to 50%. A garnishing order applies only to wages payable within the next seven days.
Wage garnishments can be stopped through two options: 1) Pay the debt in full with interest and attorney fees. 2) File bankruptcy. You may file for Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy.
