Legal Question in Family Law in Michigan

Support

My company that I work for ignored a IWO from the Friend of the Court in Michigan. Can they be held liable for any arrears as an result of this action. I currently work and live in Texas and have addressed the issue with a texas attorney and was advised that a michigan attorney would be better answering this question. Thank you
