Legal Question in Family Law in California

child support

my wages are being garnished by CSSD and i have 2 kids. 1 child is in my primary care and the other in my girlfreind. I made an agreement with my girlfreind to give her money up front to pay her car off and we signed an agreement so that I do not have to pay child support for 2 years, but CSSD told me because she is on welfare i can not do that. What can i do? can i take primary care of my other child so i do not have to pay child support?

Re: child support

Mother cannot bargain away the child's right to support. Further when mom applies for welfare she assigns the right to child support to the county.

Re: child support

I am assuming that they didn�t like the payment, maybe it was an income issue since she is on welfare. We would need to know more about your situation on why CSSD disapproved of your arrangement. I would consult with a Family Law Attorney ASAP.

Feel Free to contact me.

Good Luck!
