Re: Child Support Fraud?
You state that the child was conceived and then the girlfriend moved to Arizona, I assume that means that the child was born in Arizona. With that being the case Arizona does not have jurisdiction over your son to enter a child support order. Your son should not sign anything with the state of Arizona or any child support action in that state unless he has received advice of an attorney. California has jurisdiction over the issue of child support and in California the court may not enter an order for support prior to the filing date of any action, unless the Mother is on welfare. Good Luck, Pat McCrary
