Judgements And Wage Garnishments

[ariyn]

When filing Chapter 7 Bankruptcy, does this stop wage garnishments? Will it stop a judgement from becoming a wage garnishment?

that depends on the kind of judgment being garnished....if it's for child-support or fees, then, No. If it's for a civil judgment for injuries or financing or unsecured debt, then, yes, a request for protection under Section 7 must end the garnishment....at-least thatis my experience from dealing with bankruptcy attorneys for more than 15 years...but my newest experience isn't in consumer bankruptcy, therefore Iam not "present" on the brand new regulation changes.
