    You have posted this at least twice - these posts should be combined (unless you are conducting a survey).

    You're welcome - any time. You get what you pay for.

    In the meantime, despite the fact that you are rude and have posted this 3 times on 3 threads: "When the employer receives the summons, the employer must hold a portion of the judgment debtor's non-exempt wages. The employer is not allowed to deduct from take-home pay any amount that would leave the judgment debtor less than 45 times the current federal minimum wage. Right now, the federal minimum wage is $5.15 per hour. This means that the debtor is entitled to take home at least $231.75 per week. If the judgment debtor makes less than this amount, no wages can be deducted. If the judgment debtor makes more than this amount per week, the employer can deduct the lesser of the following two amounts: (1) 15% of weekly gross wages, or (2) the amount of take-home pay over and above $231.75. The employer may also withhold an additional small amount as a fee for responding to the wage deduction process."
