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.
