if YOU are paying child support then YOU have no chance in getting a reduction, sorry they will garnish the maximum as the law requires and the C.S. is not included. sorry I've been there and it sucks. when it comes to taxes its cut throat to get the money no matter the situation.

Title III permits a greater amount of an employee's wages to be garnished for child support, bankruptcy, or federal or state tax payments. Title III allows up to 50 percent of an employee's disposable earnings to be garnished for child support if the employee is supporting a current spouse or child, who is not the subject of the support order, and up to 60 percent if the employee is not doing so. An additional five percent may be garnished for support payments over 12 weeks in arrears.
