My ex-husband is suppose to send my alimony check the first of every month I don't always receive. I was told by a friend that I could have his ss check attached. Is this true?

Thank you for your question.Your friend is correct. While Social Security benefits are generally exempt from garnishment, the benefits can be garnished for certain debts such as federal student loans, taxes, child support and alimony. If you file a motion for contempt, you can ask for an order that his benefits be garnished.
