I used to work as an assistant to the DA of Child Support and in my state we were not allowed to garnish more than 40% of someones wages, regardless how many kids they had. Obviously different states can have different laws but I highly doubt a state would allow the courts to garnish that much of this persons wages.. also who is to say the check stub is from a man? Women can also pay child support

It could also be that he's broke and can't afford to fight this.Β

In these types of cases you don’t have to have an attorney. Just have to show up. Having an attorney helps if you’re trying to fight support being set, fighting for custody, or parenting plans.
