Is it necessary to attach my income even though I pay my support in a timely fashion?

Yes. Pennsylvania Law requires that all Support Orders entered (or modified) provide for a mandatory attachment of income. Employers have fourteen (14) days from the issuance by the Court Order to implement the attachment, and seven (7) days from the date the employee is paid to remit the support deduction to the Statewide Support Collection and Disbursement Unit in Harrisburg.
