Re: garnisment
Yes, if they obtain a judgment against you. However, there are exceptions. A judgment debtor's wages may be subject to garnishment unless the debtor is head of family. To be head of family, the debtor must provide 51% or more of the support of a dependant.
While a debtor can consent to a garnishment, it is not required. The garnishment is by court order.
