Hi All,

I have a question regarding garnishment. I have a judgment against my husband and me for $1092.00. The garnishment began two pay periods ago (on me only) and so far the law office has rec’d $482.00. Today, my husband found out that his pay is also going to be garnished. Can they garnish both of our pays if we’re married? And how do we prevent them from taking too much? Should we object to my husband’s garnishment or try to recoup the overage after it’s all over?

Thanks in advance.
