Attachment of wages; percentage limitations; priority of attachments

§ 16–572. Attachment of wages; percentage limitations; priority of attachments Notwithstanding any other provision of subchapter II of this chapter, where an attachment is levied upon wages due a judgment debtor from an employer-garnishee, the attachment shall become a lien and a continuing levy upon the gross wages due or to become due to the judgment debtor for the amount specified in the attachment to the extent of: (1) 10 per centum of so much of the gross wages as does not exceed $2UU due or to become due to the judgment debtor from the employer-garnishee for the pay period or periods ending in any calendar month; plus (2) 20 per centum of so much of the gross wages as exceeds $200 but does not exceed $500 due or to become due to the judgment debtor from the employer-garnishee for the pay period or periods ending in any calendar month; plus (3) 50 per centum of so much of the gross wages as exceeds $500 due or to become due to the judgment debtor from the employer-garnishee for the pay period or periods ending in any calendar month. The levy shall be a continuing levy until the judgment, interest, and costs thereof are fully satisfied and paid, and in no event may moneys be withheld, by the employer-garnishee from the judgment debtor, in amounts greater than those prescribed by this section. Only one attachment upon the wages of a judgment debtor may be satisfied at one time. Where more than one attachment is issued upon the wages of the same judgment debtor and served upon the same employer-garnishee, the attachment first delivered to the marshal shall have priority, and all subsequent attachments shall be satisfied in the order of priority set forth in section 16–507.
