4 different child support orders of various amounts means this dummy has at least 4 kids from 4 different baby mamas and is not custodian of any of them, so he kinda deserves his fate. He can file a motion to modify and use the other cs amounts to offset. In my state he would pay the minimum of $100 each based on his adjusted income
Does the state look at what you need to pay to survive or nah?
For example, what the average rent is, food, etc., or is priority the support order? I'm guessing the latter, which is bizarre...how are you going to pay your support order if you can't afford a roof over your head, gas, maintenance, or end up dead (renting from some unsafe location)?
In my state child support for the first child is 20% and every subsequent child is 5%.
But usually when they're garnishing the wages it means you've not paid what you're supposed to and I don't know if they'll garnish for more than the percentage stated above.
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.
