Can alimony be garnished or funds where it is deposited be levied in NJ? I heard child support can't be garnished, pension income or Social Security Disability but I have never read anything about alimony. Also, what would be the max percent for a garnishment if it is allowed? My ex was found to be forging my name during divorce, but I just found out while applying for a mortgage that there are 3 judgements against me that I had no idea about or they would have been part of the divorce, since they were prior to divorce filing. Is a judgement the same as a judgement lien if you owned nothing and still don't thanks to ex losing house through bankruptcy? How do you tell if it is a lien?
