Monitoring & enforcing child support orders

Increased Amount Withheld from Income

If a parent owes past-due support, the amount withheld might be increased - up to 50% of the current support amount ordered by the court.

Example:

  • The court order is for $250/month for current support.
  • Another $125 (50% of $250) could be added to the income withholding notice.
  • The total amount withheld would then be $375
    ($250 for current support & an additional $125 for past-due support).

The Consumer Credit Protection Act limits still apply.
