Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Virginia

Re: garnishment

No. The wage garnishment is as to a particular employer. However, a new garnishment may be able to be served on the new employer.

Re: garnishment

If the garnishment is for child support, I believe it can merely being forwarded by the child support enforcement agency in one state to its sister enforcement agency in the other

and then issued to the defendant-obligor's new employer without further judicial process.

However, if the wage garnishment is based upon what one might call a "run of the mill" judgment obtained by a creditor in some other kind of matter such as an unpaid credit card debt, for example, I believe that the judgment in the one state would first have to be formally registered(or enrolled as some would say)in the appropriate court of the new state before the new wage garnishment could be sent to the judgment debtor's new employer in order to attach(garnish) his or her wages.
