Yes they can. My father found out this the hard way after never paying his child support. As a result until all of that past due support is paid up (plus interest) his SS check is being garnished. He also has young daughter that they are hitting him for now until she gets out of school.

Generally, social security is protected by federal and state laws from garnishment. You should contact the garnishment office that is handling the matter for further details. That being said, social security income is still income subject to consideration for child support, and the obligation must be paid. Usually in a case where the only income is social security, the child support obligation is paid directly to the other parent.

It is legal, and its too late to try and prove he is not the father; he owes arreras (back child support) I assume, and those cannot be erased even with a 0.00% DNA test.
Most states draw the limit at 50% being taken out; however, if he owes a substansital amount, 65% is actually the legal limit and is sometimes enforced. Contact your local Child Support office for more information on his case.

you should circulate forward and get placed on new child help using fact heres the element in a while down the line while she comes to a decision she needs extra or notwithstanding the case could be she would have the ability to seek for new child help and the choose will ask why have not you paid and he will make you pay returned new child help for all those years. would not remember in the journey that your giving her funds straight away it incredibly is a bad determination. permit the state handle this remember so it would not come returned to bite you interior the *** later.

It's all perfectly legal and there is nothing that can be done unless he can prove through dna that he is not the father.

They can but they shouldn't. What happened to CHOICE. The woman had the choice to spread her legs, why is the man forced to pay. It's not like a guy can force her to abort of have a kid.

It should be legal!!!!
He made them children and he should have to pay. Their mother paid for them all those years, he should have helped then like he was suppost to and then this burnden wouldn't be on you now that you need the cash badly.
