Will the IRS take your tax refunds for child support payments?
Nope
Yes, they can. Child support is one of those things that is
getting very special treatment everywhere in an attempt to make
sure irreponsible parents don't just dump their kids on society any
longer.
Your tax refund is seizable and offsettable against your failure
to pay child support...(which is also a criminal act in many
areas). They systems established to do so are fairly effective.
Most other payments and earning are seixable and garnishable with
even shortened process to do so now too.
They are your kids and your responsibility, like it or not.
Certainly not mine...and everyone else that would have to pay for
them. I'm glad the IRS and Couirts are finding ways to make sure
you can't just skip out on your kids.
(BTW, bankruptcy doesn't work...child support can't be
discharged...).
