Court ordered compensation.
Well... I have a question about the way to collect court ordedred compensation.Let's allow that there is a court ordered compensation $80000 and this compensation has to be paid in 3 years according to the court decision/$2223 per month/.The debtor has about $2500 income per month but he is obligated to pay more than $1800 as child support for his 4 children.
$2500. I have heard about WAGE GARNISMENT but I think it is unapplicable here. The garnishment action, otherwise known as "administrative wage garnishment" can be up to 25 percent of debtor's disposable income. Under federal law, you cannot garnish more than 25% of the debtor's disposable income. There is an additional protection for low-income people: A wage earner must be left with a weekly wage equal to 30 times the current federal minimum wage -- which has been $5.15 since June 2000. This means that the debtor gets to keep the first $154.50 per week; you can garnish 25% of the excess. (15 U.S.C. §1673(a)(1).)Debtor is already subject to another garnishment. You cannot garnish wages if they are already being garnished by another creditor, unless (1) the first garnishment takes less than 25% of the debtor's disposable income, or (2) you have a judgment for alimony or child support.
What will happen?I think it is impossible to collect the money awarded by court.Can debtor go in jail?
