New Hampshire has a non-continuous wage attachment “on the books”. The process is seldom employed due to severe restrictions on its use, the cost, and the fact that many judges do not favor it and have discretion to disapprove it; The lien applies only to wages earned post-judgment. Under New Hampshire procedural rules, seeking a garnishment would therefore require the filing of a new lawsuit each time such an attachment is sought. The attachment only applies to wages earned up to the date of service. In other words, there is no provision for an ongoing garnishment; There is an exemption for earnings up to 50 times the minimum wage. New Hampshire does have a mechanism for establishing a court-supervised payment plan. This creates no lien against earnings, and is enforceable through contempt should the debtor default
