Wage Garnishment-Not sure which state law would apply?
Hi,
I live in PA for 1 month now. I work for a company that has its headquarters in another state (i drive a truck OTR). I believe there will be some judgements for some debts I will not be able to have discharged in bankruptcy. All of the debts (credit cards, repo fees, unsecured debts etcc) are from when i lived in Florida.
Question-If i live in PA and work for a company based out of another state-which state wage garnishment law would apply? My home state or the employers home state?
Also, (if my home state laws apply) If a judgement is entered against me in a Florida court, can the judgement be used to garnish my wages? Basically does the PA no wage garnishment law apply to all judgements or just judgements from PA?
Thanks so much…

sounds like the garnishment state’s(FL) would apply, they’re the ones making the judgement against you.
