Since my son was born my husband and I have had difficulty keeping up with bills. I am currently unemployed due to personal health and I am going on 1 1/2 years of being able to work without finding a job even though I have been searching actively (I refuse to return to my previous employer because the environment contributed to my health issue, though it cannot be proven in a way that provides workman’s comp).
My husband has a solid job that earns just enough for us to pay our current bills. We do not have spare money for any extras (eating out, movies, etc.). There have been a few unexpected bills and have had to pull from his 401k to cover rent twice within the last 5 months in order to make ends meet.
One debt collection company has taken us to court knowing that we can barely make ends meet (I have been open and honest with them about everything). They took us to court, won the judgment, and have begun garnishing my husband’s wages at 25%. At this point, we will not be able to afford the next month’s rent, let alone groceries or even pay our electric bill (which is past due).
I do not have the ability to borrow money from anyone. The people I know who would be -willing- are incapable due to their own financial obligations.
I know that in some cases those below the poverty level can have wage garnishments adjusted to a lower amount, or removed altogether. My question is: how do I do this in the state of Montana? What forms will I need and which court will I need to go to in order to do so? At this point with the reduction I won’t be able to afford the next month’s rent without pulling from the 401k again and I don’t want to do that at all.

The poverty level you just live outside your means.
The federal law when it comes to wage 725×30 his wages are earnings are exempt from garnishment if your husbands disposable earnings doesnt exceed 30 times the federal taxes and union dues if your husbands disposable earnings doesnt exceed 30 times the federal minimum wage garnishment 25 of anything.
The federal poverty level montana isnt one of that would place person at or below federal minimum wage garnishment that.
