What does garnishment of wages mean?

A decoration of salary slips
The allocation of wages to different accounts
The attachment of wages to satisfy a judgment
The reduction of wages due to taxes

The correct answer is: The attachment of wages to satisfy a judgment

Garnishment of wages is the legal process in which a creditor obtains a court order to collect a debt by taking a certain amount of money from an individual's paycheck, usually to satisfy a judgment or debt owed. Option A is incorrect because garnishment is not a decorative process, it is a legal one. Option B is incorrect because garnishment does not involve allocating wages to different accounts, it is an attachment of wages for a specific purpose. Option D is incorrect because garnishment is not related to taxes, it is related to debt collection.
