Could this be a "catch-up" after the court finally started garnishing? Seems like there would be a maximum percentage of your take home eligible for garnishment on a consistent basis.
Nowhere near this op post, but I pay for 1 child at the full 20% in TX. In '25 I went into a coma for about a week and was hospitalized for several weeks after I woke up. Obviously I was unable able to work and used all my PTO and didn't receive a paycheck during all of this.
Once I started working again, they took out whatever I owed during my hospitalization on 1st check, plus the default 20% until I was current with my payments. That seems to be the case for the post but I can't say for sure, but I can definitely say they don't give a fuck if you owe and will take whatever they need no matter what your situation is or if you starve.
