Enrolled Bill Summary

House Bill 691 amends the Family Code to establish procedures for income withholding for spousal maintenance that are substantially similar to the procedures for income withholding to satisfy a child support order. The bill establishes the order of priority in which multiple child support and spousal maintenance obligations are satisfied from the amounts withheld, requiring that the child support payments be granted priority, and sets the maximum total amount that may be withheld from a person's earnings for those obligations.
