The moving party (debtor) brought a motion to be released from a wage garnishment for unpaid legal fees owed to the responding party (creditor), and to be relieved from paying 3 percent interest on the assessed account.
The moving party argued financial hardship, citing her budget, a second mortgage, and her children's needs.
The court found that while the moving party could not realistically afford the current garnishment amount, she had previously paid a significant portion of her legal fees.
The court partially granted the motion, temporarily increasing the wage exemption from 80 percent to 90 percent, but declined to vary the interest rate.
