Q. Is the TSP protected under law from a judgment? In other words, is my TSP exempt from creditors, or can they garnish it? I was reading about certain retirement plans that are exempted from court order and just wanted to know if the TSP is one of them.
A. It depends. I suggest that you review the notices at https://www.tsp.gov/PDF/formspubs/oc95-10-b.pdf, https://www.tsp.gov/PDF/formspubs/oc14-14.pdf and https://www.tsp.gov/PDF/formspubs/oc01-8.pdf.
If this doesn’t give the answer you want, you’ll have to consult an attorney.
