Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Indiana
I recently changed jobs. I was subject to a garnishment order with my previous employer (3rd Party Defendant) related to a large judgment where I was named personally. I also pay child support of approximately 25% of my disposable income. The order required me to pay 25% on top of my support which, as I understand it, violates Indiana and Federal laws. I was unable to appeal the previous garnishment order and consequently have been paying over 50% of my disposable income. My question is: With the change in jobs, is any order (that I anticipate will be similar to the one previously in place) become a "new" order and is it appealable?

It does not have to be appealed. Your employer is responsible to not pay more than the statutory maximum.
