The problem with garnishments is that some employees will quit as soon as one is levied against them. And it can take the states forever to finally figure out that a person has quit. Meanwhile, the custodial parent isn't getting jack shit.

I did that once.

Now, before y'all get all up in arms, it was a screwed up circumstance. *leaving out a lot of details*My employer had been contacted and my pay had been garnished, which was fine with me, it saved me the resposibility of getting the money to them on time, it just came out of my check. It was fine until about two months into it when I got a $25 dollar check. I showed my boss the check and I told him, "See this?" He said, "Yeah, come back when you get it straightened out." They had also mandated that I be forcibly enrolled in the company's insurance program. Now, the rub of it is, is that she at the time (and maybe still is) she was married and living in England.

The question a non-custodial parent has to ask is,"I can work and not pay my bills or I can not and still not pay my bills. Which one is it?"

In the end I got it straightened out by, believe it or not, getting the state to intercede on my behalf with the state that had garnished my wages. They were limited to a total deduction of no more than half, or $250 a month, either of which I could afford and was still more than she was drawing in state assistance in Virgina.
