After the creditor recovers a money judgement (usually by default), the creditor will seek to execute this judgement.  Wage garnishments are common way for creditors to enforce the judgement.  Since wage garnishments threaten your ability to survive, there are exemption statues at both the state and federal level exempting from garnishment a portion of your earnings.  The Federal Wage Garnishment Law applies throughout the United States and provides two limits: (1) a floor preventing any wage garnishment for low income workers; and (2) a maximum percentage that may be garnished for high income workers. The garnishment floor is 30 times federal minimum wage per week.  If you make less than 30 times the federal minimum wage per week, all your wages would be exempt. If you earn over 30 times the minimum wage per week a creditor could garnish the excess up to 25% of your disposable earnings. (“Disposable” wages are the earnings that remain after deducting all withholdings required by law)
