Under the laws of all states in this country, typically the maximum amount of money that can be garnished from one's net pay check is 25 % of the amount each pay period total. If more than that amount is being garnished, I suggest that you consult with a consumer law attorney about filing a motion to modify the garnishment on your pay checks. If you cannot afford an attorney, I suggest that you consult with the nearest legal aid clinic in your community for assistance.
