Employer Question 27

May I withhold a fee for processing and withholding the child support payment?

Answer

Yes. In California, you may deduct $1.00 from the employee's earnings for each check you send; you may retain this fee for your processing costs. However, the deductions plus the fee may not exceed 50%. (The amount of the employer's fee varies from state to state.)
