Schultz v. Butterball, LLC
Annotate this CaseEmployer began withholding a portion of wages from Employee's paycheck as the result of an income-withholding order stemming from child-support arrearages. Employee filed a complaint against Employer, asking the circuit court to enjoin Employer from withholding further amounts and that he be awarded damages for all amounts wrongfully withheld. The circuit court dismissed Employee's complaint for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding (1) the circuit court correctly dismissed the case with prejudice, as Employee was barred from bringing this civil action against Employer, who was required to comply with the withholding order; and (2) the Uniform Interstate Family Support Act was constitutional.
