I won custody of my son 6 years ago and it cost me every penny I had to do it. Now - years later - a guardian ad litem who was assigned to our case has garnished my wages for an additional $9,000. This is a woman that never met me or my child throughout the entire trial. All she did was met with my ex-wife and tried to get my son away from me. I wouldn't even be so worried if they weren't garnishing me for 25% of my wages. They're only supposed to be able to take 10%, but they tricked me. By the time I even found d out about the garnishment, it was past the deadline to register as Head of Household to keep them from taking 25%. I need help! I have an 8yr-old boy who depends on me and I don't
make a lot of money. With how much they're taking, it takes one entire paycheck just to pay my rent and I'm not left with enough to pay Bill's. I need to know if there's any organization that might help me legally.
