    As far as I know, the only way to get the amount reduced is if what they are taking leaves your income below the federal poverty limit.

    Yep they can take that 25 percent if that is what your state allows. And not wanting to sound rude, but yes that is why long before they took you to court you should have worked out a payment plan, at this point, it is too late, why should they agree to less if they can take the full amount each pay check.
