Can my ex get out of arrears child support by claiming I kidnapped 25 years ago because I told court in Texas where I was moving but not him directly?

No. Kidnapping is a criminal offence that the police would take up. In your case you did not kidnap anyone.

Your ex's parental responsibility is to provide for his children, if he has not done this then he should have been made to do so.

However 25 years is a BIG gap - the children you had between you are now adults. The matter is therefore a civil one between you and your ex. You should go and see an attorney and discuss the likely outcome of your claim against him for the arrears of what he should have paid to you. Do not delay in doing this as there may be a statute of limitations.

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.
