CODE OF VIRGINIA

CERTAIN AMOUNT OF INCOME THAT MAY BE WITHHELD BY LIEN OR ORDER (§ 63.2-1925)

Whenever a support lien, order to withhold and deliver property or order for
withholding of income is served upon any person, firm, corporation, association,
political subdivision or department of this Commonwealth asserting a support
debt against income and there is any such income in the possession of such
person, then that person shall withhold from the disposable income as defined in
§ 63.2-100 (i) the amount stated in the lien, the order to withhold and deliver
property, or the order for withholding of income; or (ii) the maximum amount
permitted under § 34-29, whichever is less. The order shall show the maximum
percentage of disposable income which may be withheld pursuant to § 34-29. The
lien or order to withhold and deliver shall continue to operate and require such
person, firm, corporation, association, political subdivision, or department of
this Commonwealth to withhold the nonexempt portion of income at each succeeding
income disbursement interval until the entire amount of the support debt stated
in the lien has been withheld. The order for withholding of income continues
until further notice by first-class or certified mail, return receipt requested,
or by electronic means from the Department is received by the employer.
