Garnishment

My wife had received a summons for a garnishment hearing that took place today. Interestingly enough, my wife has no income of her own, as she's home with the kids while I work. I didn't receive a summons, but the income that they wanted to garnish in her name was my income. I'm sure that's completely legal.

Anyway, our attorney went to the hearing for us and go the opposing attorney to agree to wait a week before filing the garnishment paperwork. This will allow him the time to file our bankruptcy petition this week, which will put a stop to the garnishment process. What makes this most worth mentioning is that the fees we paid to our attorney for the bankruptcy do not include such court appearances, but he took care of it for us anyway.
