Military Pension Subject o Garnishment
Frequently, when there has been a failure to pay court ordered obligations, the party who is owed the funds tries to attach assests of the owing party rather than repeatedly filing motions with the court. The forms on our website may provide assistance.
Many people are unclear about whether military pension assests are subject to garnishment. According to the Deparment of Defense, if the debt is owed for either child support or maintenance/spousal support, then the military pension benefit is attachable for the past due obligation. Yowever, you need to include with the Notice to Withhold Income a DD Form 2293 (the same form used to apply for a share of the retirement as a property interest), which is available here:
