[quote=Anonymous]I don't have experience with this type of account freeze but as I understand it when your account is frozen the money does not go directly to the party owed.

My brother recently cleared an old debt. His account was frozen when he was in litigation.  Once the judge rendered the decision and he was given an amount and a payment plan, his accounts were released.

I think the freeze is just so the person doesn't take out all the money.  I believe these assessments are based on what the person can actually pay so as long as your accounts are frozen they state will know exactly how much money the ex has on hand.

The flaw is that the person may be incurring additional debt trying to pay other bills without an account.  Of course if you paid what was owed, my DB included, you wouldn't be in this situation.

It may be different for child support.  I know these debts are taken very seriously.  I was at our local courthouse for jury duty last year and they had a sign with pictures and amounts of those in arrears for child support.  There were only 3-5 people so I assume it was just the top offenders.  [/quote]
