If someone is left an inheritence and owe child support, can child support take that inheritence? If yes, can they take all of it or only a percentage. Thanks!!

Yes, an inheritance can be attached for a child support arrearage. They can take as much as the amount of the arrearage.

Just so you understand, the estate must first pay all it's creditors, expenses and taxes before they can pay out an inheritance.
