Get an attorney. DOR plays VERY dirty and doesn't care what the law says. Both benefits are not subject to garnishment but the cash flow to you is subject to seizure from your bank. There are percentage limits but they are ignored sometimes. The judge has to remain neutral and cannot be on your side, or DOR's.

Yes they can be garnished for child support. You have to apply with the court and a lawyer is recommended. Contact my office for free consultation 727-446-7659
