Legal Question in Family Law in Nevada

Nevada/Texas

Resident of Texas for year and 1/2. Nevada courts set my child support at 100.00 per month and 50.00 in arrears. Haven't worked for 2 years. If I get a job in Texas, 1. will the court find out where I am working and how will they? Due to my x-wife's harrassment I don't want them to know my place of employment. 2. Will the court try and attach my wages or will I be able to pay the courts directly by money order each month like I have been. 3. Will they try and get more out of my check possibly the 20 per cent of my gross to cover any arrears.( Does there have to be another court order issued to attach my wages? 4. If I put money in and IRA can they take it to pay child support arrears.

Re: Nevada/Texas

Your spouse might decide to enforce the child support through the attorney general's office. A local judge would be more likely to make you take money from places you put it than to go directly after an IRA. The judge would do it by putting you in jail until you paid, if the order is in the proper form. Texas orders require the disclosure of where the parties work. I do not know what your order states. Generally, I think a noncustodial parent should give the minimum information about his/her finances to a former spouse that his/her decree will allow.
