That depends: If the state tax was a jointly imposed tax,
then the answer is either: "NO" or "perhaps - see 'Injured
Spouse.'"

If the tax was imposed solely on him, they shouldn't be
taking it from her.

You should care about the child support - because it would
be wrong for the state to continue the garnishment (should
it continue) to collect the back support just to return it
to her.

My wife's deadbeat ex was supposted to pay $9,000.00 in Iowa
state tax as per her divorce agreement and didnt, (signed and
sealed by a district judge) he moved out of state and now my
wife's payroll check has been garnished for 25% of her wages
Do we have any recourse other than bankrupcy. He owed her
over $100,000 in child support and hasn't paid a dime either.
(we dont care about that].

thanks

bob and monica
