Support Arrears

California Wage Garnishment from Child Support

Our knowledge of enforcement issues give us insight into the resolution of these issues with Child Support Services (CSSD) or other state enforcement agencies. We can assist you in the return of your driver’s license, professional license, the monies taken from your bank account, and the determination of the amount of your arrears.

Enforcement of Support Orders

Robert Gantman is a Certified Family Law Specialist, who has been practicing Family Law for over twenty four years, and is prepared to assist you with the most complicated matters arising in family law, including:

• Security Deposit Account (lump sum placed into an account if payments are late)
• Liens (Real property and personal property)
• Levy of bank accounts
• Writ of attachment
• Contempt actions (with possible jail time)
• Judgment debtor examinations
• Subpoenas to obtain financial records
• Writ of sale for real property

Modifying support or the amount of payment

If you are unable to live off of your paycheck after your wages are garnished for child or spousal support, we will work to reduce wage garnishment so that you can keep current on your support payments but still pay your other bills. If you are having difficulty making your payments or owe back child support payments, it may be possible to negotiate a payment plan or modify the existing court order to reflect a change in position such as:

• a long-term illness health emergency
• new children to support
• losing your job
• one of your children turning 18
• changes in your ex-spouse’s circumstances

It is important to contact a lawyer as soon as you receive a notice from Child Support Services (CSSD) or anyone attempting to enforce the current support order. You must act quickly to respond to the notices or you may have waived your right to object.
