attachment of earnings

Read a random definition: odel

A quick definition of attachment of earnings:

Attachment of earnings is when a person's employer is ordered to deduct a certain amount of money from their wages to pay off a debt or judgment. This is also known as wage-withholding or automatic wage-withholding. In some cases, up to 60% of a person's disposable income can be seized to pay off a debt. Ancillary attachment is when property is seized and held until a resolution is reached in a legal claim. Provisional attachment is when property is seized before a judgment is made to ensure that the creditor will be able to recover their money through the sale of the seized property.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Attachment of earnings is when a plaintiff seizes a defendant's earnings as an employee to satisfy a judgment. In some cases, the defendant's employer deducts a specified amount or percentage of the defendant's wages or salary and pays it to the court, which then sends the money to the plaintiff.

Example: If a person owes child support or alimony and fails to pay, the court may order an attachment of earnings. The person's employer would then deduct a portion of their wages and send it to the court to be paid to the recipient of the child support or alimony.

This example illustrates how attachment of earnings can be used to enforce court-ordered payments.

im distracting myself by schizo-scrolling r/lawschoolamissions and every conceivable data point on this godforsaken website
it is not working
Haaa I naturally want to do that too. I’m trying to stop. They need a surgeon general’s warning on this site for perspective law students
i spend more time on here then anything else trying to rationalize that the waves from last year will match waves for this year (they won't) and that the stats of people with the same stats are indicative of my own (they aren't)
There aren't many people in my stat range so I pretty much know every result in my range after being on here for a few years
