Up to 55% of gross income.
The law allows only one garnishment procedure at a time, they are taken in priority; for example a wage garnishment for child support would supercede a garnishment for credit card debt. The maximum for creditor debt in N.Y. is 10% of gross income (income before any deductions). The maximum for child support is 25% of disposable income (income left after state and federal taxes, social security, medicare, pension, etc.) When pertaining to garnishment by creditor lawsuits the law allows the state percentage to be used if it is lower than the federal amount. Pursuant to federal law, the first $154.50 of weekly income is exempt from garnishment.
I believe you are asking if WCI benefits can be garnished for child support and the answer is, yes. WCI, SS benefits and other public assistance are not exempt from garnishment for child support obligations and/or arrearages, there must, however, be a valid court order of support in place.
Texas only allows wage garnishment for taxes and child support. A judgment creditor cannot garnish your wages. They can however levy your bank account once you deposit your paycheck.
The maximum federal garnishment is 25% the maximum NY state garnishment is 10% (this does not apply to child support or spousal maintenance). Therefore the state garnishment would be the lowest, but if the student loan(s) are federally subsidized the law may allow for the higher federal garnishment to be used depending upon the person's financial status. Such issues as being disabled, head of household, and so forth would be a factor in the percentage of garnishment allowed.
How much Child Support you pay or receive is based on total gross income. In your search on your computer type in New York Child Support Chart and New York Child Support Calculator. There is no way that a precise figure can be given to this question.
Yes, they can. Interstate child support collections laws allow states to work together to collect child support. They can issue a wage garnishment, freeze 401k, freeze bank accounts and pretty much any asset you have in the United States. I know this based on experience. BTW the state of New York will approve. States don't contest proven debt. Its like when the IRS wants their money they will get it, so will the child support collections agency and they have the same resources.
Yes, in New York, child support can be taken from any and all income sources with the exception of needs-based government assistance (such as food stamps or housing allowances). Pensions, retirement accounts, VA benefits, social security, etc, can all be garnished to pay child support in New York.
This child would probably be considered emancipated and therefore no child support would be awarded.
That depends on factors such as the language of the court order, the State, whether the child has a severe disability, the child's school status, etc.
See link below. Child Support Laws - At What Age Does Child Support Stop?
Yes, but they cannot be enforced concurrently against the same unexempt personal assets (not real property) belonging to the debtor. For example, there cannot be two wage garnishments running at the same time against the debtor. Child support and/or alimony deductions are not considered 'true garnishments', that being the case a creditor garnishment can run at the same time child support is being deducted, but the child support order takes priority.
