Civil Suit - Can they take my unemployment
I'm going to court on 12/02 because I'm being sued over an Orthodontic bill ($3000). I owe the money and am willing to setup payments, however, this is my question: I know they can take 25% of my paycheck (unless we agree on something else, I file a slow pay motion, etc) but I lost my job in August and currently am living on unemployment and child support. I'm single with a 16 year old at home and a 20 year old (that has some serious medical issues).
Will they take 25% of my unemployment check? My child support is paid directly to me from my ex so I don't see how they could take a deduction from that amount.
I would literally be on the street if they touch my unemployment. Someone please let me know asap.
