Child Support directy from ex-husband's paycheck

How do I go about getting my child support taken directly out of my ex-husband's paycheck automatically each time he gets paid? Who do I need to contact? What paperwork do I need to fill out? What information will I need to fill out the paperwork completely? How long after turning in the paperwork will it take to receive my child support automatically from his paychecks?

A wage assignment is easy to obtain. They are issued by the court upon request of the recipient parent. After the assignment is served upon the employer, the employee has 10 in which to request a hearing for a claim of exemption. If he does not file for a claim of exemption or take any other action to stop the attachment you will receive a check shortly after the 10 days have passed.
