OOPS! I mispelled Garnishment! Sorry!
It is done through the clerks office if your child support was handled through the court or through child support enforcement if they handled your child support issues. The local clerk’s office should have forms to help you do this. Generally you only have to do a new garnishment when you change employers or the amount of child support is changed.

How does a garnishment work? Is there a fee to have it done? I have a court order to garnish my ex’s wages for my payments. Do I go to the local courthouse to set it up or should I get a lawyer to do it? I also get a 5% increase in my payments every August. Will I have do do a new garnishment every year? Thanks!
