Why is my soon to be ex wife garnishing my salary if I pay her monthly court ordered payments by check each month?

  • By: David Bliven

Q: Contested divorce….Court ordered me to give my soon to be ex a specific amount each month but they did not advise me where to make the payment…So in good faith I paid my ex the amount ordered by the court…However because I didn’t pay it on a certain website/app they garnished my salary so my ex was simultaneously getting money from 2 places….ISN’T THAT ILLEGAL???

A: The Mother has the option of requesting payments via garnishment. Unfortunately, it’s her choice – and if she wants it that way, the Judge cannot order otherwise. For more, call a Westchester Divorce attorney.
