Employer Question 28

What do I do if an employee has other non-support income attachments?

Answer

Except when an IRS tax lien was served first, federal and state laws require child support withholding to take priority over all other income attachments. You must withhold the required amount as long as the amount does not exceed 50% of the employee's net disposable earnings.

An Order/Notice for support has priority against any attachment, execution, or other assignment.
