If he ever gets a regular job they will garnish his wage immediately.
That is assuming the Child Support Enforcement Agency ever gets around to acting on the garnishment....
My ex and I were married and divorced in Ohio. Ohio requires garnishment for support, whether you owe back support or not. I guess it cuts down on the number of deadbeats, but it would help if the state agency had their ducks in a row.
I was in the military and had set up an allotment to go to her for support - never missed a payment - when the state of Ohio decided that wasn't good enough. So, I had to send the payment to the State, via garnishment of my wages, and had to pay $8 more per month to Ohio to process and send a check to her. She kept asking the state to drop the garnishment and let me pay her directly because the State agency kept screwing up her payments.
Once I left the military and went to work in the civilian community, I would notify my employers about the garnishment, they would notify the State of Ohio, and not once did any of the three companies I work for get a confirmation back from the State. So, every month, I would get a certified check from my bank, send it to the State of Ohio, they would take out their $8 and send the rest to my ex.
Good thing I kept every reciept, because when my daughter emancipated, they told me I still owed over $4000 back payments. My ex and I were able to show them that I never missed a payment and that THEY kept messing up the accounting. Ex-wife still says to this day it would have been easier if Ohio simply let me cut her a check every month
