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.

How can you prevent your ex-wife from garnishing your SS check for back alimony from 15 years ago?

Most likely, no, you can not prevent her from filing to garnish your Social Security benefits for owed alimony. Social Security benefits are protected from private/commercial creditors. The exceptions are: Child support, alimony, owed taxes and student loans. The length of time the debt was owed does not matter. The amount that would be garnished from your checks is dependent upon your state's law. If your state doesn't have a specific law regarding this, then the amount would be the maximum allowed under the Consumer Credit Protection Act. If you've already received a notice, I'd contact an attorney asap.

What does the system checks and balances ensure?

A system of checks and balance prevents any one branch of government from having a lot of power. All three branches of the government are kept in balance with a checks and balance system in place.


At the beginning of the week the balance in your checkbook was 398.52 During the week you made a deposit of 425.69 You also wrote checks for 29.72 135.47 and 208.28 What is your balance?

To the beginning balance, add the deposit made and then subtract the sum of the outstanding checks to figure out the new balance. Beginning balance + deposit: 398.52 + 425.69 = 824.21 Outstanding checks: 29.72 + 135.47 + 208.28 = 373.47 Balance - outstanding checks: 824.21 - 373.47 = 450.74 (new balance)
