Went to credit board.com
still not sure about total % that can be taken. Seems like 25% of income. Already garnished for more than that . Divorce really screwed me over.

There are a couple of guys at my work that I know of that are getting garnished for student loans and it hurts them bad. Even when they get OT the same percentages apply as to what gets taken.

I would post up. My thoughts were you could rehab them so you aren't getting garnished at all.

Did you take a paycut? I thought it was capped at 25% of gross for 2 kids.

[petyweestraw]

Should be 16% for two. Unless he let himself get screwed. That's what I'm paying anyway but I had lawyers from father's for equal rights working on my side.

Have you talked to the loan servicing company about a deferment?

I'd like to know how in the fuck are you paying $1300 a month for 2 kids.

No shit. That's one hell of a standard of living to uphold...

Rob is your ex married? My fiancé said you need to call the attorney general and request a revaluation. Make sure you tell them the situation about the wage garnishment stuff. If you're making more than when the order was in place you may want to leave it alone. If you're making less or adopt some kids, to show less income, it's worth a shot.

You all need to keep in mind, the numbers you're throwing out are max TX numbers. If outside of TX, support can be higher.

Max is 25% for two, PLUS healthcare. Mothers are VERY unwilling to give up a payday. That's not even an option for most people.

Talk to the loan servicing company. There are a couple of options for income sensitive repayment.

How does that work? They each get 12.5% or the first kid gets 20% and the second kid gets 5%? (assuming two different moms)
And it doesn't count if you have custody of one the kids right? Because you aren't supporting them or anything with they live with you. (sarcasm)
