Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California

Re: Wage Garnishment after court judgement

I believe maximum is 25% of wages, but there may be some other exemptions claimed. Judgment is good for 10 years in Calif, and can be renewed. Writ of Garnishment stays until you are paid or the employee no longer works there.

Re: Wage Garnishment after court judgement

There are many methods, some more "clever" than others for collection of judgments. Wage garnishment is just one method. For Wage Garnishment, obtain a Writ, and fill out the Garnishment forms that you can obtain on the web.
