Max amount of Child Support

What is the name of your state? Nebraska

Is it true that in my state, if my ex is behind on his support, if he is REALLY far behind, they can take up to 50% of his wage?? I WANT my support, however, how do they expect anyone to make a living when they take 1/2 his wage???

It has less to do with your state and more to do with federal law. Under federal law, 55% of his NET pay can be garnished if he is married and owes arrears, and 65% of his NET pay can be garnished if he is single and he owes arrears.

They couldn't care less if he lives in a box on the streets and eats out of other peoples garbage cans.
