What if the amount billed for income withholding through my
employer does not match the court order?
Most court orders contain a provision requiring the employer
to withhold an additional 10% to be applied toward child support arrears. There
was recent change to the law, and in some cases the amount may now be 20%. For
example, if the noncustodial parent owes $56.00 per week and there are arrears
owed, the total due would be $61.60 ($56.00 for current support and $5.60 for
arrears, computed at the 10% rate). The court can order a specific amount to be
paid toward arrearages in addition to the monthly on-going child support
amount. If you have questions regarding the amount that is withheld, please
contact the agency that originated the wage withholding.
