If you are the joint-owner of the account you have already have access to the money so there is no reason to levy it. If you are not the joint-owner then you can't levy the money in the account, only the money paid to him via his paycheck. The levy would cause his employer to divert some of the funds that it pays to him, before he receives it.

Can they take money out of your account for child support if you marry someone who is obligated to pay child support?
If the account is joint it can be levied to the extent of funds that belong to the non compliant parent. The joint holder would have to provide proof to the court of the percentage of funds belonging to them to prevent said funds from being levied. The best solution if for the spouse who is not obligated for support to have an account in their name only and hold only funds belonging to them in this account. Never attempt to deposit funds of the non compliant parent into an account held by someone else in order to avoid a levy for child support. Likewise never attempt to transfer property owned by the non compliant parent to avoid attachment for child support arrearages.

Of course not. A child's parents are responsible for her support. A girlfriend has no legal obligation to support your child. In some states, once the couple marries their joint income may be levied to pay child support. If the old girlfriend/new wife is the only income earner, a portion of her paycheck may be garnished to satisfy her husband's child support obligation.
