Automatic Wage Deduction

An automatic wage deduction regarding divorce cases is defined as any form of wage garnishment ordered by the courts to sustain the custodial parent's child custody efforts. Oftentimes, a non-custodial parent that fails to comply with child support agreements will have their wages garnished through a court ordered lien. This system essentially assures the payment of child support to the custodial spouse, while preventing the non-custodial spouse any avenue to divert this money elsewhere. Employers are typically served a court order mandating payment from the employee's wages to the custodial parent.

Fast Facts

  • Laws regarding employment in given states often prevent the termination or any other form of discrimination against employees for wage garnishment due to child support.
