Employer's compliance with two or more income withholding orders

In plain English

If a boss gets more than one order to take money out of a worker's paycheck for child support, the boss follows the rules of whatever state the worker mainly does their job in. Those state rules decide which order gets paid first and how the money is split. As long as the boss follows those state rules, they have done what the law requires.
