Can a lawyer garnish your child support and alimony checks for unpaid balance?
This depends on your state. I would imagine most places follow the same exemptions so I'll offer you my local knowledge. In Illinois child support is exempt. Normally anything that already has a pre-determined use (e.g. child support is considered spent on children's needs, food, school supplies etc. and therefore exempt). Alimony is also exempt.
If you are paying alimony to your ex and she moves in with another man do you still have to pay?
In most states, alimony is unaffected except by a subsequent marriage. You have to pay alimony until the ex actually marries, moving in doesn't mean anything except she's trying to get back at you, she has needs as well, or both. You have to pay child support until the new husband actuality adopts the child, few do for this reason.
Can you get put on child support if she married?
No, only the biological parents are required to pay child support. Depending on the state you live in you may have to pay her alimony.
Can Social Security Disbility benefits or pension be garnished?

Will your child support be lowered if your child's mother marries?
No, why would it? You will still have responsibilies for your child's care and expenses. These financial needs wll increase as you child gets older, whether your wife remarries or no. If your were paying alimony to your ex-wife, that should end if she remarries.
If the father pays child support and alimony does he get to claim the children on his tax returned even though they are separated?
In most cases the parent providing the majority of the total support (more than 50%) is entitled to claim the dependent deduction. It is also becoming more common for the divorce decree or child support order to include a specific rule as to which of the parties can claim them as dependents.
Can you get an annulment with children and still have your ex-spouse pay for court ordered child support and alimony?
Child support may be ordered any time there is an absent parent. Alimony or maintenance is almost always temporary - until the obligee can become self-sufficient.Added: You can't have it both ways. You can speak with your church or religious leader about the possibility of the marriage being annulled in the eyes of the church, but (especially since there were children of the marriage) you cannot have it ruled, as a matter of law, that the marriage never occurred in the first place. The most you can hope for civilly is a divorce. HOWEVER - as the father of the children (either natural or adoptive), the father will be held responsible for contributing a certain amount to the support of the child(ren). Any alimony for the spouse would become a subject to be settled in the divorce action.
Your husband of eighteen years has been having an affair for about a year the woman has said it all on tape What are your chances of getting alimony?
Alimony depends on if you were/are able to support yourself outsire of the marriage. If your husband has been the breadwinner for most of your marriage, then you may get alimony. Also, if you show that you can not support yourself because he had not allowed you to have a ful time job, then he would have to pay as well.
Can you be denied a passport because of debt?
Depends on the debt. Usually if you owe things like child support, alimony, and taxes they most likely will deny you a passport. I have never heard of being denied a passport for bad credit card debt.
Can you collect child support if your child is not living with you?
In most cases the parent who has the child doesn't have to pay child support. The parent who does not have the child pays child support if they want visitation rights. In most jurisdictions, the non custodial parent must pay child support even without visitation rights.
What happens regarding child support and visitation after the mother remarries?
Nothing changes except possibly the schedule of visitation with the addition(s) to the household. Alimony, if any, would be most likely to change.AnswerNeither the child support order nor the visitation order are changed by the mother's remarrying. The child support order will not change as a result of a change to the mother's marital status. Any changes in court orders can only be done through a petition for modification of existing court orders.
Does a divorce decree supersede a child support order?
If the divorce decree addresses child support and is issued after the child support order then it replaces the child support order. If the child support order was issued or amended after the divorce decree then you abide by the most recent order with regard to child support.
