Under the laws of all states in this country, if you have multiple creditors chasing one for money, there is the possibility that one's net disposable income per pay check could very well be reduced to next to nothing in the event of a wage garnishment after half of the check is paid for child support.
Under the law, 25% of one's net pay check can be levied under a wage garnishment.
