Legal Question in Family Law in California

family law and your employer

can my employer ask for child support orders for a child that is now 14years old. They want to determine if I support her more then 50% after her support payments to continue her on my work benefits. I was employed with this company when she was born. I had provided birth certificate 14 years ago. They are now trying to find areas to cut costs. My child lives full time with me. I have other children from my current marriage and my employer is not trying to disclude them from my benefits. Can they discriminate against my one child from a different relationship because of support that i receive for this child and not allow benefits she has been receiving since the day she was born?
