Child support is a component of divorce that all divorcing parents in New York must consider. No one, from the average Joe to the corporate executive, is exempt from the laws that surround child support. While it may be common knowledge that wages can be garnished if child support is not paid, recent reports indicate that other funds may also be garnished for employees of the federal government.

According to reports, the Thrift Savings Plan, in partnership with the Health and Human Services Department, is now actively working toward garnishing the savings accounts of federal employees who owe child support. TSP savings accounts were rarely garnished prior to 2010. In the first half of 2012, TSP is said to have processed over 1,130 court orders per month to collect child support. In 2011, fewer than 500 were processed per month.

Some 10 percent of New York families are considered to be living in poverty. That's much lower than the 36.5 percent of single mothers who are considered to be living in the lower economic strata. There are a lot of possible reasons for this, one potentially being lack of child support to cover their living and child care expenses.

While not every single mother faces poverty or hardship due to non-payment of child support, many do. Single mothers who are the primary custodial parent may find themselves in a difficult position having to choose between working from home in order to stay with children who are not in school, or working outside the home and paying for child care, both of which can leave a mother financially strained.

Child support can be crucial for some families. This money helps custodial parents support their children's essential needs. When a non-custodial parent fails to pay child support, families in Illinois may not be able to buy the things they need to preserve the wellbeing of their children. Now a new federal agency website is hoping to expose some of the biggest child support violators in the country.

The Office of Inspector General, a division of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, has launched a website aimed at exposing the "most wanted" child support violators in hopes that it will lead to their capture.

Upon interviewing Jonathan Katz, I decided to retain him because I was impressed with his approach to divorce: he advocated communication, conflict reduction, and efficiency, toward reducing the stress and monetary expense already inherent to any legal action.

When my case took unexpected turns, Jonathan was agile and effective in his response, even when the straightforward divorce turned into an international custody battle that went to federal court. Responsive at every turn, efficient, and wise in his counsel, Mr. Katz's legal services gave me real value for my investment.
