As an asset, it can be attached, even in cases of retroactive support for a child the man never knew existed.

It is possible for the state to garnish your 401k to satisfy back child support payments, but it depends on the laws of the specific state. In some states, retirement accounts like 401k may be exempt from collection for child support arrears, while in others they can be seized. It is advisable to consult with a legal professional or a family law attorney in your state to understand the specific regulations and protections that may apply.

Yes, they can. Interstate child support collections laws allow states to work together to collect child support. They can issue a wage garnishment, freeze 401k, freeze bank accounts and pretty much any asset you have in the United States. I know this based on experience. BTW the state of New York will approve. States don't contest proven debt. Its like when the IRS wants their money they will get it, so will the child support collections agency and they have the same resources.
