Absent something contrary in your judgment, you are entitled to a wage assignment which requires your spouses employer to pay you direcrtly.
For a specific opinion regarding your individual circumstances, I suggest that you consult with an experienced family law lawyer. Experience is not expensive, it's priceless!

You may have his wages "assigned" at any time. In that case you will receive payment from each of his paychecks. You may have a delay of over five days each month and will receive the payments as he is paid, not monthly. The local facilitators office can assist you in preparing the wage assignment. Good Luck, Pat McCray
