Once they serve the order of support on my employer, the employer has to start garnishing my wages because if they don't my employer can
A) Be fined and possibly be forced to pay the amount of the order as deemed by the courts
B) Have their business license suspended
This is if you look under the word "BLACKMAIL" or EXTORTION" in a dictionary these are both one and the same, but yet they can easily get away with it, but let me try and extort or blackmail someone and I will get a free stay at the Crossbar Hotel.
Maybe this is wrong but them using someone's social security number without their consent is a crime too? I mean if they can obtain your social security number and freely use it shows your social security number is really a way for the government to track you for their advantage and makes it really worthless!

Please explain to me where a law is being broken. It's not extortion, it's law.Your employer is legally obligated to follow the court order. If he doesn't , he is liable for the consequences.
Yes, the SS # is indeed a way for the government to keep track of you. Using someone else's SS # is against the law. It is called identity theft.

One could look at fines as being extortion .. follow their instructions or you have to pay. It's a matter of perspective, sometimes.
To answer your question:
Welcome to the Child Support Enforcement system. The entire system is corrupt. The feds pay states to enforce child support in a graduated scale, the more owed, the higher the percentage of funds the states collect. It has been documented that states have kept people on the child support rolls after their obligation is done, and even if they've died, because it raises the payment from the feds.
There is a video from a psychologist who worked for Michigan's CSE department for 20 years and was a manager. You and everyone should see it. Go to www.dadsofflorida.org, then to ISSUES, CHILD SUPPORT, and select CHILD SUPPORT CORRUPTION EXPOSED. Check out other information on the site.
The use of SS numbers isn't the only problem, it's just another example of how the government twists its rules to serve its purposes.

You have to follow the law whether it seems fair or not, it is there for a reason. As far as the courts tracking you with your social security number....you have a COURT ORDER to pay this support, they have to have some way to keep track of you, just the same way that they have to keep track of someone on probation or house arrest. Would you rather they track you by social security number or slap a monitoring bracelet on your ankle? Besides as long as you are doing the RIGHT thing and paying your support and not trying to get OUT of it you should have nothing to worry about.

A. You're under a court order to pay child support.
B. You failed to pay.
C. The Court ordered your wages to be garnished, which the Court does NOT do unless you've been given multiple opportunities and multiple reprimands... in order to provide for your children's daily needs, like clothing, shelter, utilities, school clothes, food, etc.
And you want to discuss the legality of wage garnishment? Pony up. If you won't pay for your own children, out of a sense of moral obligation, then the Court will force you to do so, as a LEGAL obligation.
Loser.
No sympathy from me..

It's the law. Business are required to comply.

Actually, it is really a constitutional issue, both state and federal. The attachment of wages is arguably unconstitutional.

Businesses and individuals have to comply by certain rules and regulations/laws. It's not illegal.
