Personal Debt
Courts may order wage garnishment when you fall behind on credit card, medical, consumer, or personal loan debt payments.
Child Support
When you fail to meet support obligations you could lose up to 60% of your disposable income.
Student Loans
Most student loans are federal debt. If you default, garnishment can happen without a court order.
Federal Taxes
Mounting a successful wage garnishment defense against the IRS can reduce your tax debt and stop the collections process.
Exemption
When garnishment prevents you from meeting your basic needs, California wage garnishment law may permit you to request an exemption.
Bankruptcy
Filing for Chapter 7 protection ends collection actions and can discharge unsecured debts, while Chapter 13 helps secure better repayment terms and avoid garnishment.
