The chapter 7 trustee objected to the debtors’ exemption under Virginia Code section 34-29 for “wages due but not received.” The Court noted that section 34-29 of the Virginia Code only applies to earnings that are subject to garnishment. The wages were not earnings subject to garnishment and were not the subject of a judicial or equitable proceeding. Because the wages were not the subject of a garnishment, the Court sustained the chapter 7 trustee’s objection.
