A:
If you owe child support pursuant to a court order, absent either an agreement or a court order to the contrary, wage garnishment of your support obligation is ordinarily required. It is not any sort of Due Process violation.
If a state agency provided any sort of benefits for your child (eg Medicaid, WIC, SNAP), it has an interest in collecting child support owed for your child. That does not violate the 4th Amendment.
Child support not paid in a timely manner accrues interest at the rate of 18% per annum. Therefore it is very important you timely pay your child support each month as required by the support order in place for your child.
