Child support wage garnishment, question FLORIDA*

Guys what the fuck? I asked a question about garnishment, and all i get is all this bs? I'm not trying to get out of the damn thing, I just am financially incapable of paying the total amount, It was a simple question. Jesus... Its called being under employed, Seeing the economy now a day's it baffles me that people can't understand.

Yeah I had an alcohol and rage filled thread about forced fatherhood, yeah I also inquired about anabolic steroids. Is that a death warrant or something? I thought average smokers / growers to be something different i guess, cause I see a lot of judgment, and no useful information. You want to hate my s/n, go for it. I sleep soundly at night.

I'm ordered after my hearing to pay $265 a month, which is based on 40 hours here, at min wage, since i am badly under employed at the moment. My question is if i go the garnishment route, they can only take 60% of what i make, period... If that would be normally $66.25 a week, to add up to 265 every 4 weeks, if i under pay the first month or so due to garnishment only taking 60% and not making much more than i am supposed to owe per month, or even less, can they take however much extra i will owe to delete the owed income from me when my hours pick up and im make 50-60 hours a week instead of like 10...? example...

If i only bring home 65 dollars hourly a week, they can only take 39 and not the 66.25, at 60%... leaving me 26 on my paycheck, will when my hours kick up will they be able to take more than the 66.25 to compensate for underpayment in prior weeks? Or will they tack it on to the the end, like my friend told me who has three kids. He said if you cant pay, because you dont make enough to pay it, they only take the 60% < $66.25 i would have to make 110.41666~ per week for them to get full payment, if i make more than that will they add it onto the 66.25? i dont know if this makes any fucking sense at all... lol

DUDE!


I got lucky, I got into the game (in another state), just before the rules for garnishment kicked in. I was a fool for a bit, figuring I could punish my ex by not paying. I walked into court owing nothing and walked out having been assessed based upon what I was making before the divorce forced me to liquidate my company - it is called imputing. I walked out of court oweing about 35 thousand.

They will tack it onto the back - and although they say that they do not compound arrearage, what they do is pay from the front, so your arrearage accrues interest anyway.

I took a loan out on my house to pay the thing off. I have had my license revoked, my passport revoked, and I carry a burden even now - after 6 years there is a lien on my home even after she is completely paid. She moved from state to state. I was required to pay the STATE and not her, my state forwarded payment to the next state, and when she moved again that state was required to forward to the next - and so on, so of course my payments were always late and I was always in arrears.

Go, NOW, to your local child support office and be nice, oh so nice, and explain. Then get in line to see a judge, be nice again, and tell them of your plight. Make regular visits to everyone involved. (the be nice part? at my office it looked like a visiting room in county jail. The glass was bulletproof and I had to talk to my "agent" through a phone. I began to "fondle" the glass, scratching it, caressing it, licking it, making her very aware that she was in a cage not me - it did't help).

Can't make a payment? tell them, lose your job? tell them that day. They will take what they take and you will bow your head and figure out how to get along - better yet, start spending more time with your kid - LOTS of time, and then pettition the court for a reduction due to time spent with your child.

Lets all get real here. I spent a LOT of time at CSE office. A LOT of time. I saw moms hopping out of brand new SUVs while the dads were most likely in sort of ratty suits getting out of 15 year old junkers with driver doors that squeeked. I know, I know, you pay, but men are still getting screwed. I know I was - I wound up paying for "child care" until my kid was 19. I paid for her private highschool and her psychiatrist, and her health care as well as the original mandated amount. I only fnally got clear when my ex called the DA while we were in the court (she appeared telephonicly - I am glad I agreed to that), an asshole.

Things worked more in my favor after that.
