Interestingly, struggling single parents, as well rich ones, as well as married parents, or people without children, or people with a spouse that doesn't care, or people with a spouse that does care and has lots of money...everyone I guess, is expected to pay their bills, even if it difficult. Yes you can be subject to garishment, generally. And yes, you can be subject to asset seizure, generally. I'm not sure what you mean by having your income tax garnished...those are monies you are paying to the government to assure your income taxes are paid which go to help support the society your raising your child in. If you mean an income tax refund, see assets above. * Income tax refunds can only be seized by the IRS for tax arrearages or for child support arrearages, it cannot taken for creditor debt until it is deposited into an account which can be levied by a judgment creditor. Wage garnishments can only run consecutively they cannot run concurrently when it pertains to multiple creditors. Child support garnishments are not considered "true garnishment writs" that being the case, court ordered child support can be withheld from wages at the same time that a creditor garnishment is active.
