Stop Wage Garnishment

Are you losing money out of every paycheck because of a wage garnishment? Every time creditors get judgments against you, they can take a percentage of your wage.

Sometimes people just need a fresh start, and other times people just need an opportunity to make financial arrangements to pay back their debts. Our firm will help determine which situation is best for you.

Learn How to Stop Wage Garnishment

If your wages are being garnished, you should contact us for a free initial consultation to find out where your money is going. The court will not automatically stay wage garnishments related to alimony and child support after a person files for bankruptcy. There are methods to consolidate and pay back alimony and child support by filing for Chapter 13 bankruptcy.

If a creditor has obtained a judgment against you for unpaid debts, the court can garnish up to 25 percent of your net wages to pay back those debts. Losing 25 percent of your income may make an already challenging financial situation even worse. Chapter 7 bankruptcy will allow you to discharge certain debts and give you a fresh financial start. A Chapter 13 bankruptcy will stop wage garnishment and help you create a repayment plan that allows you to get out from under enormous debt.
