I am a lawyer in CT and pracrtice in this area of the law. The amount that is garnsihed is fixed by statute. I suggest however, that you hire a lawyer to file a motion for modification of the wage garnishment and provide a financial affidavit indicating why you cannot afford the current garnishment due to other payment obligations.
