Check out another article about court-ordered block: My retirement was garnished! What now? By João Freitas I am retired and I noticed that the amount I receive monthly has been reduced by 30%. I went to the INSS and was surprised to find out that my salary had been garnished by a judge's order in a lawsuit in which I owe money and have not paid the debt. I was also advised to seek a lawyer to request the release of this amount because it is alimony, which cannot be seized. Is this true? Dear Internet user, You can hire a lawyer to present a defense claiming that your salary cannot be seized. However, the Courts and the STJ currently decide to garnish part of your salary to pay debts collected in court. However, it is important to note that these decisions are not unanimous and may be reversed. This is because the exaggeration in humanizing the execution is falling apart, forgetting the humanity or needs of the creditor who, without a doubt, suffers when he does not receive his credit due to the ineffectiveness of the judicial enforcement process. Therefore, judges already order the garnishment of wages when the amount of the freeze is reasonable in relation to the wages received by the debtor, and does not violate the dignity or subsistence of the debtor and his family. In your case, the garnishment of 30% of your wages is probably reasonable in relation to the value of your earnings, that is, your wages are enough to support you and your family, even if you take 30% of it to pay the debt in your lawsuit. Be careful! If you have a legal claim and do not pay it, you may lose part of your wages.
