Thank you for your question. I am not sure I understand the question because I don’t know if the “tax garnishment in place” is for child support. However please be advised that Social security benefits and Social security Disability Insurance (SSDI) can be garnished to pay child support and alimony obligations including back taxes and no-tax debt owed to a federal agency such as student loans and federally funded home loans. It is important that you are aware what orders are in place and if you can’t make certain payments that you seek the help of an attorney to file a motion in court to lower payment in order to try to avoid garnishments.
