Can child support money be taken for a credit card debt?

if a judgement has been entered against you in court by the collector they can freeze your bank account. If your CS is direct deposited it will NOT STOP THE FREEZE/SEIZURE. You then have to go to court and file paperwork and show that the money in your account is from child support. CHILD SUPPORT money is exempt from seizure but the bank follows the court order. (Same for SSI,SSDI)

If it is in a bank account it can be seized until you file the exemption.

Best now to have these monies placed on a sort of credit card that states are now offering in place of direct deposit.
