Nope

Yes, they can. Child support is one of those things that is getting very special treatment everywhere in an attempt to make sure irreponsible parents don't just dump their kids on society any longer.

Your tax refund is seizable and offsettable against your failure to pay child support...(which is also a criminal act in many areas). They systems established to do so are fairly effective. Most other payments and earning are seixable and garnishable with even shortened process to do so now too.

They are your kids and your responsibility, like it or not. Certainly not mine...and everyone else that would have to pay for them. I'm glad the IRS and Couirts are finding ways to make sure you can't just skip out on your kids.

(BTW, bankruptcy doesn't work...child support can't be discharged...).
