What is the name of your state? IN
My husband lives in IN and his daughter lives in Michigan. Michigan is the state where the divorce took place. He has been trying to get his payments for child support directed through Friends of the Court. He finally got all necessary paperwork done and filed. Now, the Friends of the Court in Michigan tell him that they are going to take his child support amounts out of his paychecks. He has NEVER been late for a child support payment. He will owe arrears because the amount changed due to his new job. The arrears are only for a time frame of about 6 months. Which is how long it has taken for the paperwork to get done. His arrears will only total about $500. Is it common to pay your child support by means of wage garnishment? Or, can he opt to just send them a check monthly? Currently he has been sending checks to his ex-wife every two weeks. Any advice would be appreciated.
