What exactly is an attachment?

Question

My ex husband owes me 20K in child support and they have issued and attachment for him for failure to appear in court, failure to pay purge payments, and failure to pay court costs. When there is an attachment do they go pick him up or just wait for something like him getting pulled over to happen?

Answer 1

An attachment means that the court is attaching any wages or tax returns that he may receive to help pay for overdue child support.
