Illinois Defendants Motion To Claim Exemption Under Wage Deduction Proceedings is a legal document filed by a defendant in an Illinois court action. This motion seeks an exemption from a wage deduction proceeding, which is a process in which a creditor can garnish a debtor’s wages to collect on a debt. This motion can contain several types of claims for exemption, such as an exemption due to the debtor's financial hardship, or an exemption due to the debtor being a single parent or head of household. The motion must include an affidavit, which is a sworn statement of the debtor's financial circumstances. The motion must also include documentation of the debtor's income and expenses, as well as any other information that may be relevant to the debtor's claim for exemption. If granted, this motion can protect the debtor from wage deductions and can offer them some financial relief.
