Washington law protects a large portion of your income. Each week, youre guaranteed to keep at least 80% of your take-home pay or 35 times the state minimum wage whichever is more. You may be able to stop a garnishment by claiming exemptions, working out a deal with the creditor, or filing for bankruptcy.
A garnishee is a third party that holds money or property that belongs to a debtor subject to an attachment proceeding by a creditor. Money or assets are typically in the form of earned wages. Garnishees tend to be employers required pay a portion of this money to a creditor, as determined by a court order.
