Do we have to comply with an out-of-state garnishment order?

08/16/2010

Q. "We have an employee who lives in Arkansas but works for our company at our offices in Texas. His wages have been garnished by an Arkansas court and we have been sent a notice to start withholding the garnishment from his paycheck. We responded to the attorney that Texas didn't allow garnishment and we were prohibited from withholding the amount from the employee's wages since he works in Texas. The attorney said that since our corporation is registered in Arkansas, we are subject to Arkansas law and required to apply the garnishment. Can you provide guidance if this garnishment can be enforced against us?" -- J.L., Texas
