Legal Question in Family Law in California

I live in Orange County Ca. I went to court on May 11th for custody and support. I told the judge beginning of may I applied for welfare. So he did not make a child support order at that time being the welfare opens a case with the child support department. After court I found out i was not recieveing welfare for the children of my marriage just my older daughter. So i filled out an application with the child suppport department to try and open a case myself. Then the Child support department informed me they are terminating the case because the father recieves disability and ssi which are wages that cannot be garnished.. now what do i do to get a child support order???? Please any help appreciated

I can't believe they told you that you cannot garnish SSI or disability. You certainly can garnish it for child support or alimony.
