Best Answer

Yes, in some cases it can. Thefederal law that once prohibited such income as being totallyexempt has been amended in some areas. Not all such income is exempt from child support obligations. As a general rule, one should assume that there is no income exempt from garnishment for such support. Such casescan beadjudicated on anindividual basis.

Child support is not like any other judgment. In an ordinary judgment where your check is being garnished an agency is limited to 25% of your gross wages.

What can a mother do for a child's support if the father of her child is on SSI and does not have a job and does not have to pay child support?

If the father is on SSI the child is entitled to check too from SSI. If the paternity of the child has been established you are fine. You can contact SSI with the childs birth record, file a child support action and the child will receive his own check. If paternity has not been established hire and attorney or contact you local child support enforcement agency.


Can the mother of your child go after your wife for child support?

Yes, it is the responsibility of both parents to support their child/children. In a few states the amount of income that both parents make will be taken into consideration in deciding the amount to be paid. In most, only the parent's income/assets who will be paying the support is considered. Therefore the custodial parent could be independently wealthy and support for the children would still be ordered by the court.
