Can the state of Alabama garnish your wages for a small claims court judgment?

Yes, the state of Alabama can garnish your wages for a small claims court judgment if a creditor obtains a court order. Once a judgment is issued in their favor, they can file for a wage garnishment, which allows them to collect a portion of your wages directly from your employer. However, there are limits to how much can be garnished, typically up to 25% of your disposable earnings. It’s important to respond to any court proceedings to avoid such actions.
