Q: is there a case law that prevents Child Support Enforcement from garnishing my wages when I am current on support pmts?
Because my wages have been imputed at 3X my current income, and since my ex wife has full custody, I am facing child support payments that are over 70% of take home. Also, because I work in the financial services industry, wage garnishment potentially can be a client reportable and disclosure activity.

A: Child Support Enforcement is likely to take every penny they legally can take from you. You can consult with a local attorney who can go over your circumstances in more detail and lay out possible options for you - maybe even see if some payment arrangement can be worked out but likely your only viable option will be to tighten your belt and pay what you are required to pay. I wish i had better news - best of luck.
