Garnish

Hi

They attempted to garnish her wages.

Does "garnish" mean just "take it away from"?
  

Top answer

eg Tom's wages were garnished. Here's the broad idea. A court orders Tom's employer to deduct eg $20 every time Tom gets paid, and to give it to the person specified in the court order This continues until all the money specified in the court order has been paid.
