If it is a joint account yes.
As long as your employer will allow it. If you were over/underpaid, how would your employer recall the direct deposit if the account is not in your name? Would you want to risk not having access to your money? Is this depositing money to over child support or something like that?
no
Pay up your arrears before applying. The military does not allow late child support.
Let me restate what I think you're asking; if this is not correct, you'll need to ask again and try to make more sense next time: A father owes child support. He is remarried. He and his new wife have separate checking accounts. The checks for child support are drawn on her checking account. Do these "count" as child support? Yes. But it would be smarter for her to just deposit the money in his account and for him to write the check for the child support, just in case his ex-wife decides to be a witch about it.
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.
If you deposit the money into a personal account, then the money could be taken, if there are arrears. If there are arrears, and there is a legitimate reason, such as unemployment, the obligor can still file for a reduction in them. Most Child Support obligors do not know there is free help from the state, by federal law, to obtain a modification. At the minimum, a motion should be filed to have any interest penalties set aside, which can double or triple the amount owed. Of the total media "reported" amount of child support owed, 83% if interest penalties and not unpaid child support. These links will teach what needs to be known about child support.
Yes, all pension benefits both military, SS, private, etc. can be garnished for child support.
No you do not.
Yes, if it's a joint account in both your names. No, if the account is only in your name, unless it can be proven that he makes deposits into that account.
No, child support does not start until the child is born. Once the child is born the mother can seek child support and it can be deducted from the father's pay.
yes
