I live in colorado my sons dad won't get a job to pay for childsupport. Can you garnish va disability and gi bill money for childsupport?

To the best of my knowledge no garnishment from va, but again it is different in each state. What you need to do is call the child support office in your state.

Yes. There are a number of instances where the Federal Government can garnish Social Security benefits, including:

• We can garnish benefits to enforce child support and /or alimony obligations -Section 459 of the Act;
• The Internal Revenue Service can levy against benefits to collect unpaid Federal taxes -Section 6334(c) of the Internal Revenue Code;
• The Internal Revenue Service can collect taxes due by levying up to 15 percent of your monthly benefit until the debt is paid;
• The Internal Revenue Service allows beneficiaries to have a portion of their check withheld to satisfy a current year Federal income tax liability - Section 3402 (P) of the Internal Revenue Code; and
• Other Federal agencies can collect money from your benefits to pay a non-tax debt you owe to that Agency - Debt Collection Act of 1996 (Public Law 104-134).
