I'm not an attorney but I do know a little about California law and my opinion is no due to the fact that the child support is a supplemental aid solely Intended to be used by you to support you'r child/children,now spousal support is a different story.And sis I know I don't know your particular situation but child support is never intended by the courts to be anyones primary source of income so go out and try to find a job like all of the other pride filled upstanding American parents out there stop leaching off your kid/kids.
Yes, in most cases such such action is possible by a judgment creditor.
Not directly. Once the funds have been deposited into a bank account a judgment creditor could levy the account for the debt owed. There are several factors that come into play when it relates to the attachment of a bank account by judgment creditors. For example, how the account is set up, JT, JTWRS, TBE, and so forth. The majority of U.S. states only allow a creditor to levy and account once. After that the creditor has to return to court and have the judgment refiled as a second levy if the full amount of the debt was not obtained in the original action.
Make your payment to the clerk of courts office in the county your judgment was entered in.
Not for the same debt, but a wage garnishment can be implemented by one judgment creditor and a bank account levy by an additional judgment creditor.
A judgment creditor can levy a bank account even if it is joint. A judgment creditor can only garnish income if there is no other way to recover monies owed. A judgment creditor can place a lien against real property but cannot perfect the lien as a forced sale of a primary residence. A judgment creditor cannot seize a tax refund.
A judgment creditor can levy a bank account(s) held by the judgment debtor. An account can be frozen by the court when it appears that funds might be removed and/or transferred to avoid the judgment levy or to allow the judgment debtor to claim exempted funds in the account(S) or when the account is jointly held by a person who is not a judgment debtor. A joint account holder who is not a judgment debtor is required to present documents proving to the court the amount of funds that belong to them and which are not subject to a judgment levy. In some instances when an account is held jointly by a married couple and only one spouse is the named debtor the entire account will be exempted from a judgment creditor levy.
They can garnish your wages. Texas only allows a judgment creditor to garnish wages if the creditor has no other options available to execute the judgment. A judgment creditor can levy a bank account including a joint account or a joint marital account. Regular earned income (wages) deposited into a bank account are NOT exempt from creditor seizure. The creditor may also seize and liquidate any non exempt assets belonging to the debtor (bonds, stocks, jewelry, livestock, a specified amount of tools of trade, in some cases household furnishings, etc). Texas is a community property state, therefore, it might be possible for the judgment creditor to seize joint marital property even if only one spouse is the debtor. Some income, however, cannot be attached by creditors or persons who prevail in a lawsuit. For example, disability income, Social Security income and military retirement income cannot be garnished or attached by a creditor.
The bank should notify the account holder that the account has been levied by a judgment holder. Also, the account holder/judgment debtor should have received a final notice of judgment citing the action the judgment creditor is taking.
Yes, a creditor can garnish a bank account in South Carolina. The creditor will have to obtain a judgment from a court before a bank account can be garnished.
The creditor would need to obtain a lawsuit judgment from the Texas court before wage garnishment would be allowed. Texas only allows garnishment of wages when there are no other means for a judgment creditor to collect a debt owed. If a judgment has already been entered against the debtor in a different state, the judgment creditor can place a "foreign" judgment lien against property owned by the debtor.
The judgment creditor can execute the judgment as a bank levy in which case, the bank must release the amount of funds stated in the court order regardless of how the funds are deposited in the account. The entire balance of an account can be seized if it is needed to pay the judgment order. The judgment debtor should take steps to protect funds within the account that might be considered exempt (Social Security benefits, disability benefits, monies that belong to an account holder who is not the judgment debtor, etc.)
A creditor can only levy your bank account by getting a judgment against you. To do that, they must sue you. And they must win in court. If you are sued by a creditor, be sure to show up for court to prevent this from happening.
