This differs from state to state. Each state has laws that give judgment debtors certain monetary allowances for food, clothing, housing, etc. These allowances are totalled and anything over that amount can be taken. You must check the laws of your state to see how much of an allowance you get for each item in order to see how much of your pay you can keep.
Assuming you get paid $500 every week, you would need to set aside $38.47 out of every paycheck in order to have $2,000 in exactly one year.
You have a judgment concerning a credit card? They can take your paycheck. They might put a lien against your bank account. They probably won't take your house. You surely don't owe them that much money. They do the other stuff first.
As long as they have a court order of a judgment against you - yes they can. There are limits though as to how much they can take out of your paycheck. In most states that is 10% of the gross pay.
If the court places a judgment against a person, a garnishment can take place, there is no limit. It is possible for a person to have his/her entire paycheck garnished.
They will need to sue you and get a judgment against you first. After that, yes they can do those things, including garnish your paycheck.
Why would a minor child have a paycheck?
From his gross pay YES. When you have your net take home paycheck in your hand you do NOT have any thing taken out of your net take home paycheck or withheld from your net take home paycheck.
Claiming zero allowances on your w4 means that the Government will take the maximum amount of taxes possible from your check each paycheck. This ensures that you will get a refund at tax time but it means that the government is holding on to some of your money all year until tax time rolls around. Only do this if you owe money to the IRS and want them to hold on to more money as a no-hassle way of making small payments to the IRS each paycheck.

Your paycheck after taxes "what you take home".
Certainly in the UK it can. I believe you need to give permission for it unless there is a court order give in which case there is nothing you can do about it. I think there is a maximum that they can take however. All to do with the bare minimum you need to live on.
