Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Maryland

Garnishment of wages

The garnishment placed on wages turned out to be on a part time job and the party does not make enough to satisfy the garnishment. I plan hire an investigative service to identify the full time job. My question: do I have to cancel the existing garnishment now or can I proceed with a second garnishment?
