If a creditor is trying to garnish wages do I have any exemption rights if I am head of household or have dependents?

You have the right under Virginia Law, code of Virginian 34-4, to get back form a garnishment $5000 plus $500 for each dependent. But they will just turn around and garnish you again.

The only judge who cares whether you can take care of yourself and your children is the bankrutpcy judge. The bankrutpcy judge cares about that full time. So it seems to me you need to talk to a bankruptcy lawyer.
