You may rely on this only for general guidance because the law itself is the final word. (Read the law, § 34-29 of the Code of Virginia, for a full explanation. A copy of § 34-29 is available at the Clerk’s office. If you do not understand the law, call a lawyer for help.) An employer may take as much as 25 percent of an employee’s disposable earnings to satisfy this garnishment.

No more than 65 percent of an employee’s earnings may be withheld for support; (2) Money is withheld by order of a bankruptcy court; or (3) Money is withheld for a tax debt.
