California Codes, Code of Civil Procedure - CCP, Part 2 — Of Civil Actions, Title 9 — Enforcement of Judgments, Division 2 — Enforcement of Money Judgments, Chapter 5 — Wage Garnishment, Article 2 — General Provisions, Section 706.032
(a) Except as otherwise provided by statute:
(1) If withholding under an earnings withholding order ceases because the judgment debtor’s employment has terminated, the earnings withholding order terminates at the conclusion of a continuous 180-day period during which no amounts are withheld under the order.
(2) If withholding under an earnings withholding order ceases because the judgment debtor’s earnings are subject to an order or assignment with higher priority, the earnings withholding order terminates at the conclusion of a continuous two-year period during which no amounts are withheld under the order.
(b) If an earnings withholding order has terminated pursuant to subdivision (a), the employer shall return the order to the levying officer along with a statement of the reasons for returning the order.
Notes
Sets termination of an earnings withholding order after 180 continuous days with no withholding when employment ended, or after two continuous years with no withholding because a higher-priority order or assignment controls, unless statute provides otherwise. When an order terminates for either reason, the employer must return it to the levying officer with a statement explaining why.
