    Judgment Recovery in the State Of Georgia
    My question involves judgment recovery in the State of: GA

    How much of your wages can be garnished if you have a judgment against you. Do they consider your income or the number of people in your family?

    11. Georgia Wage Garnishment

    Pursuant to OCGA 18-4-20, the maximum part of the aggregate disposable earnings of an individual for any work week which is subject to garnishment may not exceed the lesser of twenty-five percent (25%) of his disposable earnings for that week, or the amount by which his disposable earnings for that week exceed thirty (30) times the federal minimum hourly wage. For earnings for a period other than a week, a multiple of the federal minimum hourly wage equivalent in effect shall be used

    What are disposable earnings? Does that mean that bills such as utilities, mortgage and groceries are deducted from your earnings and the rest is disposable income?
