You have the right to give the court any evidence to show why the court should not order that money be taken out of your pay or income starting immediately. 2. Not all of your income can be withheld: The only money that may be taken out of your pay for support is the money that is left after you pay required federal, state and local income taxes, employment taxes, normal retirement contributions, union dues and initiation fees and group life and health insurance premiums. And only some of the leftover money can be taken out. Having other dependents (or not) and being past-due on your support payments can affect the amount withheld.
