The notable exception to this automatic stay is wages that are garnished for child support. This exception exists for two reasons: first, a child’s well-being should never be adversely affected by any court proceeding, and second, child support debt is not dischargeable in bankruptcy filings, and therefore will not be a part of your bankruptcy proceedings.
Consulting with experienced bankruptcy attorneys is always a good idea. Wage garnishment alone is not a reason to file for bankruptcy, and a good bankruptcy lawyer can help you evaluate all other options.
