There are limits to what can be withheld from ex-military personnel. Usually 50% of the members’ retirement pay not related to disability is subject to garnishment and withholding. It is important that your attorney include the proper language in your support agreement, or court order to permit the withholding of retirement pay for purposes of paying support obligations.
