This type of garnishment comes with some restrictions. First the court must have filed a petition for apportionment of the disability pay. In the end, only a portion of the monthly pay is able to be garnished, typically between 20-50%.

Another thing to note is that the compensation is determined by a percentage of the disability of a veteran and not based on actual earnings from a job.

The reason for this is that several court cases have confirmed the legality of family courts to utilize these payments to calculate support. These include decisions from Florida, Mississippi (Steiner v. Steiner), Wisconsin (In re Marriage of Wojcik) and other states.
