Question 2937 Deck General
70% to passWages due a seaman may be attached by the court for the _______________.
A
payment of back taxes to the IRS
B
support of a spouse
C
payment of any fines imposed by the court
D
All of the above
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) support of a spouse. Wages due to a seaman can be attached by the court for the support of a spouse, as this is considered a legal obligation. The court has the authority to order the garnishment of a seaman's wages to fulfill this obligation, as part of their duty to provide for their spouse. The other options are incorrect because the court cannot attach a seaman's wages for the payment of back taxes to the IRS (A), or for the payment of any fines imposed by the court (C). These types of attachments are not permitted under the regulations governing the wages of seamen.
