Re: Is what they did legal

You if live in Florida and you are the head of household, your wages can not be garnished, according to Florida Statutes �222.11. It is called head of family exemption. What is more, the amount of wages protected is unlimited. As long as you spend more than 50% supporting your dependants, your wages are exempt from any and all garnishment.

You will need to file an exemption affidavit with the court and with the creditor.

This information is general in nature and you should consult an attorney since each case turns on specific facts.
