income withholding order

An income withholding order is a legal directive that requires an employer to deduct a portion of an employee’s wages directly from their paycheck to pay for obligations such as child support, alimony, or debt repayment. It ensures timely payments by automatically withholding the specified amount before the employee receives their wages. This process helps enforce court orders or legal agreements, making sure the owed amount is paid regularly and efficiently, without requiring personal action from the individual who owes the money.
