Child Support - Earnings Withholdings Limits

Summary

The law limits how much of a noncustodial parent's disposable earnings can be withheld for child support, capping it at 35% when the parent earns no more than 250% of the federal poverty line, unless they are voluntarily impoverished. It also requires employers to include specific information on withholding notices, allows employees to contest improper withholdings, and outlines how multiple orders are prioritized. The changes aim to protect financially vulnerable obligors while ensuring child‑support obligations are still met.
