Earnings

Weekly pay left after deductions required by law, such as taxes (15 U.S.C. 1672). Voluntary deductions still count as disposable.

Situation
Does the paying parent support another spouse or dependent child?
Do the arrears cover a period more than 12 weeks ago?

Maximum weekly withholding for support: $480.00

That is 60% of disposable earnings, the federal CCPA ceiling that applies to this situation (15 U.S.C. 1673(b)(2)).

  • Obligor does not support another spouse or dependent child.
  • No arrears older than 12 weeks.

Estimate only. The court or state agency calculation controls.

Federal CCPA ceiling under 15 U.S.C. 1673(b)(2); state rules under Wyo. Stat. § 20-6-210(b)(iii); 15 U.S.C. § 1673. Rules last reviewed 2026-08-09.

Wyoming points directly to federal law

Section 20-6-210 requires the notice to state that actual support withholding plus the authorized fee cannot exceed 15 U.S.C. § 1673.

The four federal tiers depend on another supported family and arrears age.
