Legal Question in Family Law in Massachusetts

Re: Child Support arears and Diability income

You should address this question to the Department of Revenue, which can seize the asset if it can be seized. This falls in the intersection of Social Security Law, which generally forbids liens on the benefits, and state and Federal law in favor of paying child support.

Note that Title II DIB benefits include a stipend (child benefit) for the children of disabled workers. You may want to get in touch with Social Security to make sure that the benefit is paid to YOU, not the ex. The CHILD should have a "past due benefit" of his OWN from this monthly stipend.
