There are several things you can do to prevent too much being deDucted. You can move to have the writ of execution quashed. You might be able to assert your status as head of household to reduce the percentage being deducted. But, unless you think they will get more than $580 in this first execution, you might wait to contest future wage garnishments. These are general suggestions based upon your general description of the facts. You should consult directly with an attorney in your area, to see what potions are available in your particular situation.
Good luck
