wage-assignment order

Read a random definition: peremptory challenge

A quick definition of wage-assignment order:

A wage-assignment order is a legal document that allows a person's employer to take money out of their paycheck to pay off a debt. This is also known as an income-withholding order. It is a way for creditors to ensure they receive payment from someone who owes them money.

A more thorough explanation:

A wage-assignment order is a legal document that requires an employer to withhold a portion of an employee's wages to pay off a debt. This is similar to an income-withholding order, which is used to collect child support or spousal support payments.

For example, if someone owes money to a creditor and has not been making payments, the creditor may obtain a wage-assignment order to collect the debt. The employer will then deduct a certain amount from the employee's paycheck and send it directly to the creditor until the debt is paid off.

Another example is if a person falls behind on their student loan payments. The lender may obtain a wage-assignment order to collect the debt. The employer will then deduct a certain amount from the employee's paycheck and send it directly to the lender until the debt is paid off.

These examples illustrate how a wage-assignment order can be used to collect debts from an employee's wages. It is important to note that there are limits to how much can be withheld from an employee's paycheck, and the employer must follow certain procedures when implementing a wage-assignment order.

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
