If your father is already subject to a garnishment order, which is a post-judgment collection remedy, there must already have been a final adjudication that he is the parent of the child. The judgment stands, unless it can be set aside. In the state where I practise, this would require action (motion to set aside judgment) within a reasonable time after the entry of judgment, not exceeding one year, which shows that there was excusable neglect in failing to respond in the proceeding and that your father also has a meritorious defense. He needs to see an attorney about this as soon as possible. I hope something can be done for him, but it is difficult to have a judgment set aside, in the face of his knowing failure to contest the action.
