Missouri Department of Social Services, Family Support Division v. J & J Industrial Supply, Inc.

OPINION

CLIFFORD H. AHRENS, Judge

J&J Industrial Supply appeals the trial court’s judgments in favor of the Department of Social Services Family Support Division after J&J failed to comply with income withholding orders.1 This appeal presents questions of first impression in Missouri as to whether a child support obligor should be joined as a party in an action against his employer for income withholding violations and whether the employer can challenge the evidence supporting the underlying order. We resolve both *480.questions in the negative and affirm the trial court’s judgments.
