How can you prevent your ex-wife from garnishing your SS check for back alimony from 15 years ago?
Most likely, no, you can not prevent her from filing to garnish your Social Security benefits for owed alimony. Social Security benefits are protected from private/commercial creditors. The exceptions are: Child support, alimony, owed taxes and student loans. The length of time the debt was owed does not matter. The amount that would be garnished from your checks is dependent upon your state's law. If your state doesn't have a specific law regarding this, then the amount would be the maximum allowed under the Consumer Credit Protection Act. If you've already received a notice, I'd contact an attorney asap.
