    Yes. The Judgment is cross filed, with the permission of the Court, in Louisiana.

    The State of MS has a Judgment against you? Are you talking about child support?

    The amount is: "Louisiana uses the federal wage garnishment guidelines. Wage garnishments are effective immediatly upon service of the garnishment on the employer. The amount withheld is 25% of disposable income. 401K or other retirenment funds are not counted as disposable income. Deductions are to be withheld from every paycheck and are remitted by the employer at least monthly. The Garnishment stays in effect until the full balance due is paid, including all attorneys' fees, interest, court costs and so forth. "
