automatic wage-withholding

A quick definition of automatic wage-withholding:

Automatic wage-withholding is when a court orders an employer to take money out of an employee's paycheck to pay off a debt they owe. This is usually done to satisfy a judgment for child support or alimony. The court can take up to 50-60% of the employee's disposable income, depending on their situation. This is also called attachment of wages or wage assignment.

A more thorough explanation:

Automatic wage-withholding is when a court orders an employer to deduct a specific amount of money from an employee's paycheck to pay off a debt or judgment. This is also known as attachment of wages.

For example, if someone owes child support or alimony, a court may order their employer to withhold a certain percentage of their paycheck and send it directly to the person they owe money to. This ensures that the person receives the money they are owed without relying on the debtor to make payments voluntarily.

Another example is if someone is sued and a judgment is made against them, the court may order their employer to withhold a portion of their wages to pay off the debt. This is a way for the creditor to ensure they receive payment without having to rely on the debtor to make payments on their own.

Overall, automatic wage-withholding is a legal tool used to ensure that debts and judgments are paid off in a timely manner.

@KnowledgeableRitzyWasp: whats wrong with fds
the fds reddit was a femcel hell hole analogous to redpill manosphere stuff
It’s incredibly toxic
It’s not quite as bad as manosphere stuff, but it’s close to that. They have a whole system of ranking guys and shit

let’s bring that on here. can I start ranking you guys? bulbasaur is on top cuz he has a wife and none of the rest of you pull like that
they get you in with telling you to value yourself then they start making you feel like all relationships are transactional
and that’s what’s bad for your mental health
i'm here for the ranking baby cat

eggan and jack are s tier bc of their accent
@babycat: I guess more binary than ranking. It’s like high value man, low value man, and there’s some other stuff
@windyMagician: can you talk about it in therapy? i had a problem with only going after people who treated me poorly and therapy helped me work that out
i could see why FDS would be attractive but i was in to manosphere stuff like 10 years ago and its just soooooo bad for your mental health
will 100% poison all your personal relationships
And that stuff fucks with the way you see the world in general
