I don't know the $$ amount they can take. That's based on you salary and rent. However, they can and will garnish you salary if you owe child support or fines. If you quit your job because of this, they will send out a bench warrent and arrest you. I know this because I have an ex-husband that tried this. I hope I answered your question. If not, post it again and someone else may have a better answer.
