The landlord has issued a garnishment order. I have heard that the landlord is unable to collect via garnishment in NC unless they issue the garnishment to the employer I worked for in Missouri AND I still work for them. Is this correct?

Generally, that would be correct, in my opinion. Best bet is to contact NCDL for current policy; basic information can be found at http://www.nclabor.com/wh/fact%20she...rnishments.htm. Personally, I'd recommend you follow up with an attorney in the area for specifics in your particular situtation. The bottom of the page also provides additional resources, contact information and if you need it, legal referral information as well. Hope this helps.
Good luck.
