No. You cannot be fired unless your earnings have been withheld before for a different court judgment (i.e. one not related to your current job earnings). If this is the first judgment for which your wages will be withheld and your employer fires you because of this, the California Labor Commissioner, listed in the phone book of larger cities, can help you get your job back.

∙ 15y agoA Collection Agency who "owns your debt", or one who is acting in collaboration with the debt holder may seek a remedy in the courts. If you lose the case, the court has the power to garnishee your wages until the debt is paid. The determination to garnish, and the amount of the garnishment depends a lot on your overall income and net income (gross income minus legimate expenses).

∙ 14y agoThat cannot be done in any state, but in California, 20% of the income of your new spouse/SO can be used in a child support modification.
