Legal Question in Family Law in California
Hidden Assets
Several years ago he had been ordered to pay child support, but now claims currently has no income, no saved money or assets, except property co-owned with receiver of child support. Receiver of child support, due to non payments, encumbers personal property awarded in decree,(decree states 'free and clear' of any debt of this personal property) and under 'duress' of these supposed circumstances, is being forced to sell or buy out co-owned property, although several more years remaining as co-owners of property per decree. Receiver of child support highly suspects and possibly discovers substantial (deliberately hidden) assets. Any input is greatly appreciated.

Re: Hidden Assets
His claims may constitute grounds to have his ordered support reduced, but he has to take action to request it from the court. In the meantime, the recipient of the support is entitled to rock on through all available collection means. The child support recipient does not have to advocate the payer's case for him.

The court maintains jurisdiction over undisclosed or unadjudicated assets (Family Code 2556). I suggest that you consult with an experienced family law lawyer. Experience is not expensive, it's priceless!
