Dear,

Here are the answers to your questions:

Q1: Does the seizure include 25% of my husband's allowances, bonuses, and commissions, or only 25% of his basic salary?

Typically, garnishment is applied to a percentage of the basic salary. However, in some cases, it may also include allowances, bonuses, and commissions.

The specific details will depend on the judge's decision and local laws. It is advisable to review the judge’s order carefully.

Q2: The judge issued a letter, and I received a copy by email. Does the court also send the letter directly to my husband's employer, or am I supposed to forward it to them?

Dear Questioner,

Regarding the seizure of your husband's salary, it may include the basic salary as well as allowances and other benefits, depending on the laws in your jurisdiction.

To clarify which part of his earnings can be seized, consulting personally with a legal professional or directly asking the court for guidance is recommended.

Typically, the court sends the letter directly to your husband's employer as per the court order.

However, to ensure a smooth process, you may want to verify this procedure by contacting the court for confirmation on how the letter will be delivered to the employer.

25 percent of the salary that he receives and puts into his pocket. The court is supposed to send it to the employer, but you can also send it to them.

If the order simply states "25% of the salary," it's generally interpreted to include all components of the salary, including basic salary, allowances, bonuses, and commissions.

Usually, the court is responsible for sending the letter to the employer. This is the standard procedure to ensure proper execution of the court order.
