What is the name of your state? Illinois
In the state of Illinois, they state that wages can be garnished up to 15%.
-Lets say the person's monthly gross income is $4000.00
-15% of this is $600.00
-Person is paid every 2 weeks (bi-weekly)
Would the $600.00 per month be divided between the two monthly pay checks ($300.00 bi-weekly) or is the $600.00 deducted once a month in a lump sum (say at the end of the month)?
Also, am I correct in my thinking of how the 15% is calculated? It would not be $600.00 every two weeks that is deducted would it? That would make for then 30% monthly.
I am trying to help someone out after a devorce situation. This person is a single mother with 3 kids.
Thank you kindly in advance for your responses!
