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?

I was fired due to a conflict with coworkers after being employed for 13 years. Does my non-compete still apply since the termination was not fair? The non-compete is for 2 years in the state of Florida. Additionally, I want to understand wrongful termination and if I am owed vacation pay for this year.

Last year, I was hit by a woman with no license or insurance. The police say I went through a yield sign, but on paper, she was going well over 60 mph because she flipped me over and destroyed my car. Now, she's suing me, and I live in my father's house, which I'm trying to protect as the guardian. I'm black, and she's white. I looked both ways, but she came flying out of nowhere and hit me on the right side door in the back in Wisconsin. What steps can I take to fight this, as I had insurance and followed the law, but the cops say I was at fault?

My daughter gave her father and me an odor diffuser for Christmas. I am still angry because we pay for her children's college tuition and always give expensive gifts. I do not expect costly gifts, but I can't handle the anger and hurt I feel. I have not said a word to her about it. How do I get over this sad, mad feeling?

I have been sued by a debt collector. They served me last November, but I was unaware of the lawsuit until recently. I received an Application for Entry of Default and an affidavit of default response that I need to respond to. What should I do to respond to the lawsuit and what should my response be?
