Q) how long after the first time noncustodial parents paycheck has been garnished, will I receive my first check? & then debit card?
A) The length of time it takes to receive your first check after a non-custodial parent’s paycheck has been garnished can vary depending on a number of factors, such as the state you live in and the specific details of your case. However, here are some general guidelines:
- First Check: After the non-custodial parent’s paycheck has been garnished, it may take several weeks for the child support agency to process the payment and issue a check to you. The time frame for receiving the first check can vary, but it typically takes 2-4 weeks from the time the garnishment begins.
- Debit Card: If you have enrolled in a child support debit card program, your payments will be deposited directly onto the card. The time frame for receiving the first deposit on your debit card will depend on the specific debit card program and when the child support agency processes the payment. It may take a few business days for the deposit to be reflected on your card after the payment is processed.
It’s important to note that the exact time frame for receiving payments can vary depending on the specific details of your case and the laws and regulations in your state. If you have any specific concerns or questions, it’s best to contact your local child support agency for more information.
