Not sure in what context you mean, but yes a court order can garnish your wages for child support. IF the custodial parent has filed a support order and paternity has been established then YES absolutely your wages can be garnished.

If you mean that a creditor filed judgment against you and you are the one receiving child support, they cannot touch that money, but if you are getting those direct deposited and the creditor attaches the order to your bank account the child support can be taken indirectly that way.

Good luck

Your child's father doesn't work but his girlfriend does. Will she have to pay child support?

Of course not. A child's parents are responsible for her support. A girlfriend has no legal obligation to support your child. In some states, once the couple marries their joint income may be levied to pay child support. If the old girlfriend/new wife is the only income earner, a portion of her paycheck may be garnished to satisfy her husband's child support obligation.
