Legal Question in Family Law in California

My husband got notice that his check is going to be garnished due to child support arrears we were not aware of. It is set for 50%..can this be reduced. Also, can they levy a bank account that is in my name (spouse) and he was added to recently?

Thanks

Tammy

You can ask that it be reduced. 50% of the check after all deductions is the maximum allowed. Yes, they can also levy on any account that he has the right to take money from. He needs to get into court and have his support obligation adjusted to reflect current income of both parents, and get a reasonable payment schedule for the arrearages.
