MAILED TO THE GARNISHOR.  \nGarnishments are issued by a clerk or judge to collect a debt that is based on a court judgment against you. Wage garnishments are served by the Sheriff on your employer, who is responsible for taking a certain amount of money out of your pay.  \nIf you are supporting a spouse, a dependent child under the age of twenty-one (21), or a dependent child who is deemed disabled by the Social Security Administration, you may be entitled to a head of family exemption from a garnishment. Under sections 513.440 and 525.030. 1, RSMo, persons who are eligible for this exemption can limit the amount taken out of their pay.  \nIf you qualify for a head of family exemption and the debt owed is not for the support of another person, ten percent (10%) of your disposable earnings may be withheld from your wages. See sections 513.440 and  \n525.030. 1, RSMo. “Disposable earnings” is defined as your pay minus any required deductions. Required deductions are federal, state, and local taxes and withholdings for Medicare and social security.  \nIf you qualify for the head of family exemption and the debt owed is for the support of another person, fifty percent (50%) of your disposable earnings may be withheld from your wages. However, this amount can increase to fifty-five percent (55%) if the debt is for past-due support. See 15 U.S.C. 1673 (b)(2) . Usually, debts of this kind are for child support or maintenance.  \nTo claim the head of family exemption, you must complete the affidavit on page one. Return the completed affidavit to your employer for computing the garnishment percentage.  \nNOTE: When you receive notice of a garnishment, you should immediately check with your employer. If your employer is already taking out the correct amount from your pay, you may not need to file this affidavit.  \nIf you have any questions about your rights regarding the garnishment, you should speak with an attorney.  \nNotice to Sheriff’s Department – This is the standard fo","cbCainWI8muD0wbZ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainWI8muD0wbZ","pdf",1634219,"English","# Judgment Debtor’s Claim for Exemption\n## Wages\n## Bank Account or Other Financial Institution\n## Instructions for Exemption Effect","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the Judgment Debtor’s Claim for Exemption affidavit?\",\"answer\":\"It is filed to obtain release of exempt wages and exempt property from execution in a Missouri garnishment case.\"},{\"question\":\"How much of wages may be released under the head of family exemption?\",\"answer\":\"Generally, a 90% release of wages is sought when qualifying as head of a family, subject to statutory exceptions.\"},{\"question\":\"What steps are required for the exemption to take effect?\",\"answer\":\"The affidavit must be filed with the circuit court issuing the writ of garnishment, served upon your employer, and mailed to the garnishing party.\"}]","Judgment Debtor’s Claim for Exemption - Wage and Bank Account Exemptions | PDF",1789535087]
