My ex has been paying me child support direct every two weeks via check. He has been late for the last 6 months, by at least a week. When I ask him about it, his response is too bad, I'll get it when I get it. I've threatened to go after wage garnishmet to ensure that I'll receive it on a regular basis, but am not sure how this works. Does anyone know if I can just request wage garnishment or do I need to have a valid reason? When he does give me the child support checks, they are dated with the date they were truly due. I copy each check and write when I really did receive it and note how late it was but I don't know if this is proof. Is wage garnishment something that I can just request and if so, does anyone know what department I contact - Family Services? Thanks!
