Employers are required under state and federal law to withhold child support as ordered. If the payments are being made directly to the custodial parent, the employer would be in contempt of a court order and the court could impose sanctions. However, the custodial parent should take action immediately by reporting the situation to Child Support Enforcement. The court won't know until it is reported.

Is it legal for an employer to charge a fee for taking court ordered child support deductions out of your check?

I'm sure it's LEGAL, but I don't know if I would like my employer for doing that. On the other hand, most employers do not appreciate the extra effort involved in dealing with court orderd attachments to wages. By not taking care of your obligations you have placed an additional burden on your employer, they're just letting you know that they aren't happy about it. Having child support deducted from an employee's wages can be a voluntary action or one due to garnishment proceedings. Generally in either sitiuation the employer can charge an amount specified by the court, the reason being to offset administration costs. It is illegal for your employer to charge a fee for taking a court order on child support and deductions off your pay check because they are not allow to in the court of law. Only the court can do that off your bank acount.

Child support and visitation are separate matters. If you do not have court-ordered visitation rights, get them. If you do, go back to court to enforce them - the law is taking an increasingly dim view of custodial parents who deny court-ordered visitation.
