What do I do if the employee has multiple Orders/Notices and does not earn enough to satisfy them all?

If 50% of the employee’s net disposable earnings will not pay in full all of the assignments for support, priority should be given to the current child support obligations, followed by (in order):

  1. Health care
  2. Current spousal support (if any)
  3. Liquidation of child support arrears
  4. Liquidation of spousal support arrears

Apply monies in the above order according to the proportion that each assignment bears to the total owed in each category.
