The state of Massachusetts protects public employee pensions from being garnished, however, you can still find yourself unprotected. The state doesn't protect the disbursements from retirement accounts such as 401k(s) and IRAs.
401k's can be seized for child support. For college payments or attorney's fees, not likely.
It really depends on which state you live in. Every state has different rules about who can garnish what types of income. Most states do not allow 401K or annuities to be garnished for any reason.
No. All disability benefits whether private, SS or RRB are exempt from creditor action for debt(s) owed.

In some rare cases these can be garnished, but are not usually. Your income that is coming in from a job is generally what is garnished.
The 401k is not taxed but the Roth 401k will be best in the long run as the money you get out wont be taxed then.
