If your son in behind on his child support payments many states have very aggressive laws for collecting past due support. My wages began getting garnished for support last year and I had never missed a payment in 12 years prior. Then a few months ago my employer had a mix up in the accounting department and they didn't release my wages for child support. By the end of the following month I had a letter from the state telling me my tax return would be garnished for the past due support. Fortunately my employer corrected the problem and paid the past due support and interest immediately, and the state quickly sent another letter saying they would no longer make the tax return garnishment.

Can wages earned overseas that are not subject to federal income tax be garnished for child support?
I've worked several overseas assignments. The US is one of the only countries that taxes foreign income so I can't imagine a situation where your foreign income would NOT be subject to US federal taxes. As such I would further suppose that it is therefore liabel to be garnished.I'm improving the previous answer: My husband worked overseas. He did not have to pay US federal taxes because he paid German taxes and a person cannot be double taxes on income. He still had to pay his child support obligation and it was garnished from his pay.
