My child’s father has moved state, can income withholding work
Q) My child’s father works for a big company and has moved several times in her job. Can income withholding work in this case?
A) Yes. States must recognize the income withholding orders from other states, and continue the income withholding as ordered, without regard to where the noncustodial parent or the custodial parent and children live.
