Local Rule LR 6.01 / LR 2083-1: Wage Withholding
Bankr. S.D. W.Va. — General rule
When the Chapter 13 plan is filed, the Court will issue an order to the debtor's employer to withhold from the debtor's wages an amount equal to the proposed payments under the debtor's plan. If the debtor does not wish to be subjected to wage withholding, a motion must be submitted with the petition that sets forth why wage withholding would not be in the best interest of the debtor, the creditors or the Trustee. Absent filing of such a motion, withholding will commence the first pay period following the filing of the plan and service of the Withholding Order on the debtor's employer.
