Yes they can if you are behind in paying or owe a significant amount in arrears. They would garnish your wages to pay current support and also for arrears if the court set an order for payment of arrears. If not, then they can levy your bank account or tax returns.

If there are arrears (amounts that were due, but not paid), I don't see why not. The garnishment would be for current amounts, and if possible pay off the arrears, while a bank levy could take savings toward more of your arrears (but not more of your earnings, as that is capped at 50% maximum).
