Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Ohio

Due to job loss, my wife and I will eventually have to file for bankruptcy. We are trying to delay this for as long as possible, hoping to find a job.

Question: Most of our bills simply cannot be paid and we're wondering if our income, which is my military pension and her social security, can be garnished by creditors? There's no child support or tax debts involved.

Thank You
