If you are asking whether an accountant can overrule a court order, I'll bet you already know the answer to that question.
Re: child support court order
No. Income withholding orders must be included in all support orders and are usually effective immediately. When signed, an income withholding order give the Friend of the Court the power to order the payer�s employer to withhold sufficient money from the payer�s earnings, commissions, bonuses, and other income to pay the child support, arrearages, and Friend of the Court fees. If an employer fails to comply with the withholding order, the court may find the employer in contempt.
