how do you garnish wages for child support?
If your judgment is for child or spousal support, you can garnish up to 50% of the debtor's take-home pay (55% if the debtor is 12 or more weeks in arrears). If the judgment debtor does not currently support a spouse or child, you can garnish up to 60% of the wages (65% if the debtor is 12 or more weeks in arrears). Some states have even lower wage garnishment limits. If a state wage garnishment law results in a smaller garnishment, the state law must be followed.
