    Writ of Garnishment
    I live in Florida and have a question about two separate Garnishments on my pay.

    I received a notice of Writ of Garnishment yesterday. I already have one being taken out of my pay check to the max allowed by Florida Law (25%). This one is a new one from another company. Can they also collect from my pay check each week leaving little to nothing to support my family? I am head of household with a child in support.

    I did have one before and contested it based on Head of Household but the Judge decided to side with the other side and I ended up with the money coming out of my check anyway. I ask these questions because I fear the same judge and same judgement even though Florida law exempts Head of Household.

    Reads to me that there can only be one wage garnishment at a time as you said, with a maximum of 25%: "Persons who do not qualify as head of family will still have the protection of federal law which limits the amount of wages that can be garnished. If you take home less than 30 times the minimum wage per week, all of your wages are exempt. Otherwise, a judgment creditor can obtain 25 percent of your net wages under a continuing writ of garnishment until the judgment is paid in full. "
