Yes. After the wage garnisment is served the first 30 days of wages are totally exempt from attachment. After 30 days the garnishment can be a maximum of 25% of disposable income.
Garnishments must run consecutively. Garnishment for child support arrearages is not considered a "true garnishment" therefore a creditor garnishment can run concurrently with the child support. Child support garnishment amounts will not be reduced due to another garnishment order.
