Child support isn’t treated the same way as consumer debt in pretty much any jurisdiction in the USA that I’m aware of. Things like that and possibly stuff like alimony or similar legal agreements pretty much always have higher limits and more tools available to collect.
So, it would be a bit of a mistake, in my opinion, to equate child support and its laws with medical / consumer debt.

I know it wouldn’t play out like this, but I can just imagine owing 50% on child support, then that 35% garnished for medical debts, and both departments are like fuck you we want our money to each other so they garnish 85%.
