Full question: Can an ex-spouse from twenty years ago start a claim for child support and spouse support and are now collecting from his retirement, because Social Security is now taking half of his retirement from his monthly check?

Hi there,

Yes, the Social Security Administration can withhold current and continuing Social Security payments to enforce one’s legal obligation to pay child support, alimony, or restitution. You can learn more here.

Best of luck,
