Wage Garnishment question

[onemoremile]

What is the name of your state? OK/TX/AZ

My question is in regard to wage garnishment. If a creditor gets a judgement against you do you go by the wage garnishment laws in the state that you live in, or the state where your company/employer is located that pays you.

Also, does it matter if the corporate office is in one state (where you do not live) but there is a branch of the company in the state where you do live.

My husband works out of neither location- he is a virtual employee and travels all over the US and abroad.

Ugggghhh - this stuff gets so complicated

Thanks

It determines where you live. I'm guessing you don't live in texas.

My question is in regard to wage garnishment. If a creditor gets a judgement against you do you go by the wage garnishment laws in the state that you live in, or the state where your company/employer is located that pays you.

In an example like you have, the judgment creditor can 'select' which state to use (assuming he/she can show a reasonable reason why the state selected is valid).
However, unless the judgment was domesticated to the 'other' state, it would apply ONLY to the state where it was issued.
