My husband has a case in TX but now lives in FL. His daughter is now 20. We moved to Florida in 2002 and he became a firefighter. He received papers of support being paid automatic every month. He received the same for a support order from California also. His child in CA was 15 when CA opened a case in FL to collect against him. To this day California is receiving the support but his employers have not complied with the order to TX. I have been trying to understand this but my husband does not want to rock the boat. He makes $2200 a month and CA gets $655 a month. TX wants $745 a month. CA filed in FL in 2005 to collect and she was under 18. TX never filed any papers in FL. All he received was an order to the employer. Based on this information, if my husband moved back to TX will his employer still be able to help him. Not that he doesn't want to make the payments but that he is the soul provider at the moment for our family. I am still looking for a job and plan to keep one so he can pay more.

Technically he should only be paying child support to one state. How did Texas get into the picture on this? They need to get out of the picture if the child is residing in California. Retain an attorney to get Texas out of the picture.

Well, he has two kids from separate marriages. One child order is from CA the other is from TX. The one from CA, the child is 17 yrs old. He is behind but paying through his job. The one in TX is 20 yrs old. They are the ones that TX and FL are not settling. The amount my husband makes a month and the amount of both child support orders together are greater than 55%. The main thing is we want to move but we have to know if the same applies every where? Can they only take a certain % of his income? He was a dead beat but he is now really trying to change.

Yes, he has to pay both child support, he may have the amounts modified if he appears in both courts and asks to arrange payments taking the other payment into consideration.

But where he works can't do anything and unless the boss is just nice and wants to help,

If he gets served papers from both places, they will garnish the first one first and if that is not up to the max allowed, they willl then start taking out for the other one.
Ignoring any child support will not make it go away, only add to it, and risk going to jail over non paid support
