IF I FILE BANKRUPTCY AFTER MY WAGES HAVE BEEN GARNISHED CAN I STILL GET RID OF THAT DEBT OR AM I STUCK WITH IT

A garnishment is a method of collecting on a debt.  It is not the debt itself and has nothing to do with whether or not a debt is dischargeable in bankruptcy.   Whether the debt is dischargeable depends on what the basis of the debt it is and whether it falls under any of the exceptions to discharge in the bankruptcy code (such as debts incurred through fraud, domestic support obligations, most taxes, student loans, etc.) Mark J.
