Respond fast when your wages are being garnished or about to be — the deadlines, the exemptions that can reduce or stop it, and the steps that protect your paycheck. Use when asked they're garnishing my wages, how do I stop wage garnishment, I got a garnishment notice, or can they take my whole paycheck. Produces the urgent-deadline map, the exemptions that may reduce or stop it (income caps, protected funds like benefits, head-of-household), how to file a claim of exemption, options to resolve the underlying debt, and where to get legal aid immediately. Not legal advice; centers fast legal-aid help.

# Wage-Garnishment Response

A garnishment notice is an emergency with a clock — there's usually a short window to object or claim exemptions, and missing it means watching a chunk of every paycheck vanish. This gets you moving inside that window: the deadlines, the exemptions that can reduce or stop it, how to file a challenge, options to resolve the debt, and where to get legal aid today — because speed is the whole game here.

## What This Skill Produces

- **The deadline map** — the short windows a garnishment gives you to respond, object, or claim exemptions, flagged as urgent-first
- **The exemptions to check** — limits on how much of your pay can be taken, and protected funds that often can't be garnished at all (many benefits, certain income), plus protections like head-of-household where they exist
- **How to challenge it** — filing a claim of exemption or objection, and what to bring
- **Resolution options** — negotiating the underlying debt, a payment agreement, or addressing the judgment behind the garnishment
- **The stop-the-source view** — whether the judgment itself can be contested or the debt was even valid (link to `debt-collector-scripts`)
- **An immediate-help pointer** — legal aid and where to get fast, often-free assistance, because deadlines are tight
