In Virginia, a wage garnishment itself is typically limited by the statute of limitations for debt collection, which is generally 5 years. However, if a judgment was obtained for the debt, that judgment can be renewed, allowing for garnishment to continue beyond 7 years. It’s essential to check the specific circumstances of the case and any applicable renewal processes.
