Child Support Garnishments: Withholding Best Practices and Compliance Procedures

Course Description:

Child support garnishments can be tricky because not only are there federal and state laws to comply with, there are also specific child support requirements you need to address, like:

• filing deadlines and procedures,
• administrative fees, and
• those costly penalties and fines for violations.

Are you sure you’re handling child support garnishments correctly?

1. What if there is more than one withholding order, which order has priority? 
2. What if there is not enough money to comply with the order? 
3. Where does medical support come in? 
4. What do I do with the arrears?
