What is the state law on wage garnishment in Kentucky?

Garnishment is a process by which creditors [hospitals, doctors, credit card, loan companies or banks, etc] take a part of your income [dividends, commissions, rent received, wages/tips] in order to pay a debt -- the exception is generally child support received, civil service and military pension benefits, Railroad Retirement, Social Security, SSI [Social Security Disability] and Veterans benefits and only one creditor can garnish at a time.

Your after-tax income is exempt up to 30 times the minimum wage per week. If you earn more, creditors can garnish up to one-fourth (1/4) of the amount over the exemption. For example; Multiply the current minimum wage, $7.25, by 30 [$217.50]. If your after-tax income per week is less than $217.50, your wages can not be garnished. If your income is more than $217.50 but less than $290, the difference, $32.50, can be garnished. If your income is more than $290.00, say $300/week, one-fourth can be garnished [$75.00].
