What is the legal percentage that can be deducted from my husbands check for child support?
Full Question:
Me and my husband live in OK but he is paying child support for 2 different cases in AZ. One of the cases is for back child support for 2 children who are both over the age of 18 and not enrolled in any type of school. The other case is for current and back child support for a child who IS under the age of 18. They are taking 1/2 of my husband's take home pay every week which doesn't leave enough money for us to live on. We have our 2 minor children living with us that we support. My question is, Is there a limit on the percentage of his net pay they can deduct every week? I've been told that they can't take more than 1/3 --not 1/2---is this true?

Answer:
This is really a hard situation since he is having to pay back child support as well as other support. One option could be to ask the courts in AZ for a reduction based on his overall situation. He should contact a local AZ attorney to resolve.
