It depends what the garnishment is for. if it is for Child Support, you are out of luck.

You should check with your attorney for more specific information. It's likely that the garnishments will be stopped temporarily so that the trustee can work out a plan for you. Your debt will remain. I believe that there is a difference in how things would be done with your debts that can't be discharged between a Chapter 7 filing and a Chapter 13 filing. If you file for Chapter 7, but the court-appointed trustee believes that you can pay off all or at least a big chunk of your debts, the filing may get amended to Chapter 13. The opposite is also true. If the trustee sees that you don't have much hope of keeping up a payment plan, your filing may get changed from Chapter 13 to Chapter 7. The state laws are also different. I hope this helps. Gary

As stated above, you need a bankruptcy attorney.
The laws changed in major ways recently, you need to be sure you get one that doesn't do anything else.

It depends on why it is being garnished.
You need to speak with a bankruptcy attorney.
Most will give you a free initial consultation.
