Q: Your county
has started collecting from my job by Notice to Withhold,
and now FTB has served an Earnings Withholding Order at
50%. Can I get this reduced?
A: Yes, if appropriate.
We will confirm that your employer is deducting the child
support from your paycheck according to the court order
on your case(s) and then the FTB 50% deduction can be reviewed
for possible reduction or withdrawal. FTB does, however,
request that their order stay in place for two months. After
two months, we can review to reduce or lift their assignment
as long as the county and/or private order(s) are being
honored by your employer.
Note: If you have multiple cases in this county or cases
in more than one county, the transaction may be more complex.
Please advise how many biological children you are currently
paying for, their ages, where you pay, and monthly amounts
when you contact our office.
