I would think so, but that's not the end of the question. The source of the funds, the garnishment, the other assets and debts involved, would all have at least a possible effect on this. You need to have a bankruptcy attorney look at the entire factual picture, to know how this is likely to work out.

The attorney providing the answer was not serving as the attorney for the person submitting the question or in any attorney-client relationship with such person. Laws may vary from state to state, and sometimes change. Tiny variations in the facts, or a fact not set forth in a question, often can change a legal outcome or an attorney's conclusion. Although AttorneyPages.com has verified the attorney was admitted to practice law in at least one jurisdiction, he or she may not be authorized to practice law in the jurisdiction referred to in the question, nor is he or she necessarily experienced in the area of the law involved.
