Re: Wage garnishments

The answer depends on the type of retirement plan they have. Some are exempt/protected under federal ERISA laws, and others are subject to creditors, so find out what type the debtor has first. If you haven't done so already, you can subpoena the person for a "debtor's exam" to provide you with information about his/her assets.
