In what state can debtees garnish debtor wages? To my knowledge, only the government has that power, and only uses for taxes or child support reasons.

Any creditor can garnish wages by taking you to court. There are state and federal limits to how much they can garnish though.

Here is a law office that deals specifically with this: http://georgettemillerlaw.com/can-hospitals-garnish-my-wages...

Thanks. I’ve never heard of this before. When my parents went through bankruptcy, it never reached that point, I guess.

All of them, but they have to sue first and get a judgement. Anyone with a judgement against you can obtain permission from the court to garnish your wages and bank accounts.
