May 30, 2011 Judgment by: Debtcollectionanswers.com If a creditor or debt collector has obtained a legal judgment against your husband, the creditor or collector can ask the court for permission to garnish his wages. However, there are limits on the amount of money that can be taken out of each of his paychecks. Also, given that Wisconsin is a community property state, it's possible that your wages could be garnished too assuming you work. I do not know the particulars of your financial situation, but you may be a good candidate for bankruptcy. If you file, all collection actions, including the wage garnishment, will be put on hold and you'll have an opportunity to figure out how to deal with your debts. Depending on the type of bankruptcy you file, many of your debts may be eliminated.

Nov 03, 2011 Child Support Garnishment by: Anonymous That employer better check his federal law. If I remember right, federal law states employers can be fined for not complying with child support garnishment. Definitely check with an attorney or legal aid. My sympathies, as well. My ex hasn't paid child support since 2004, and the state won't go after him because he applied for and received SSI. (For what I have *no* clue. Filed protestations brought nothing.) Here's wishing you the best.
