Georgia goes by Federal Law for garnishment therefore they can take up to 25%. (each check). Its not pretty.

Budlightgirl is right on the money, no pun intended. 25% after taxes and social security is taken out.

depends on who the garnishment is from – IRS can take up to half of your net pay after taxes
