Ok...here is the issue. I have been divorced for over 2 years and we have finally just finished the child support issue. The probelm is that they figured by income to be 40 hours per week having me make over 2800.00 dollars a month:confused: which is illegal:mad: for me to work based on the 1000 hour 100 hour and 30 in 7 rules...Now I am a first year FO at Pinnacle and I make approx 1200.00 a month that I bring home. They are going to start garnishing my wages starting this month. Another probelm is that I can't afford a lawyer because I broke and the garnishment is set at 1000.00 dollars a month or 50% of what I make which leaves me approx $400-$500 per month. Not even enough to pay the rent. I have documentation that I have been supporting my sons for the past 2 years such as paying daycare, helping her buy a new car, clothes, etc things a father is supposed to do. So please don't think I am a deadbeat father because I am not. Fellow pilots if there is ever a brotherhood or sisterhood in our profession...I NEED IT NOW!!! I need to know how to fight this because if they start to do this I am going to be on the street with not much to live on. There has to be other pilots out there that pay child support. I need all the help I can get and I need it soon. My next pay day is 9/16 and I have until monday next week to try to fix this. Thanks to anyone that replies. I will be flying all day today and tomorrow. So please keep commenting I will check everyday...I promise.

List of things that I have done

I have filed for reconsideration and faxed the regulation 121.471 to back my arguement

I have faxed my paystubs

I have contacted ALPA...not much help there so far

I have contacted HR in Pinnacle (I believe their hands are tied since it is a court order)

I have until 9/22 to file for a Superior Court Review but I have no idea on how to do that. Plus I know I need a lawyer...but I am broke.

Thanks for your time to look at this...hopefully this hasn't happen to anyone else or if it has some actually understood the pilot profession and knows that you can't work 40 hours a week because we are regulated not to. Well off to work again...appreciate the help.:)
