QUESTION
Can I stop or modify the garnishment since I am unable to live on the amount left every month?
Asked on Oct 25th, 2013 on Child Custody - Indiana
More details to this question:
I receive SSD, my children receive a beneficiary benefit greater than the court ordered child support amount. At this time, my SSD is being garnished for the full child support amount and they are receiving the additional beneficiary payment (hence being paid twice); leaving me unable to live on $500 a month. What can be done?

You can ask for a modification if your circumstances have changed since the original order.

You can go back to court and ask for the child support to be modified to just the payment of their dependent amount from your SSD. Don't wait, do it now.
