Non-custodial parent owes child support and files and money is seized, does the custodial parent get the money

Question

non - cusodial parent filed income tax and his money was seized, does the cusodial parent who is getting the child support money also get the money that was seized by child support that he owed?

Answer 1

If it was seized by the child support agency then yes, the custodial parent will get the money--if the arrears are due to him/her. If it were seized for a TAX JUDGEMENT (which I believe is the only debt to trump child support arrears) then it belongs to Uncle Sam.

Federal tax intercepts are generally held for 6 months prior to releasing them (if the non custodial parent is remarried). State taxes are first used to pay off debts owed to the state (substitute care, TANF etc) anything above those debts are applied to what is owed the custodial parent.

Answer 2

Was his money garnished for child support? Did you have an order in effect? If not, it may have been garnished for something else. But if you did have a tax intercept in place, you (custodial parent) will receive it. It will be credited to his arrearages on your case within a couple of weeks and then it will be held for 6 months unless he signs a release (it is held so he has time to protest it). You should be able to get this information from your child support caseworker in a few weeks. That is, if you went through them but I think that is the only way they will garnish it.

Answer 3

i've got truthfully had some adventure with this variety of component. For me, earlier custody replaced into appointed, I had to pay baby help in accordance to fee wherein I earn. on the time, i replaced right into a student and basically earning minimum salary at 40 hours a week, which became out to be around $3 hundred a month for baby help. So it extremely is truthfully a share of your earnings. although, I now have custody and as a replace of transforming into my ex spouse pay baby help, she will pay for all of her airplane tickets and my sons tickets while he is going to circulate to her by way of fact she lives an prolonged distance away.

Answer 4

well the honor system doesnt work, thats been proven. thats also why all of these stronger laws were made by the states and federal government.

they are TIRED of people not paying.

the money intercepted; depends... if the family was forced on welfare, then welfare gets a chunk. if not, the custodial parent gets it all... tax free.
