'''Wage garnishment''' is a non-[[bankruptcy]] legal proceeding whereby a [[plaintiff]] or [[creditor]] seeks to subject to his or her claim the future [[wages]] of a debtor. In other words, the [[creditor]] seeks to have part of the debtor's future wages paid to the creditor for a [[debt]] owed to the [[creditor]].

Wage garnishment is legal in every state for child support, alimony (in states where alimony is allowed) and income tax repayment. However, for private debts some states (e.g. Texas) do not permit wage garnishment.
