Q: My boyfriend is currently paying back child support as ordered and complying with the full monthly amount.
He no longer owes future child support since his child was adopted by the stepfather. If he opens a checking acct. to pay his bills easily, will DCSS freeze his account to take out more money than the ordered monthly amount or does that only apply if he's not paying the full amount every month? This is in Riverside, CA. Thanks!
A: So long as your boyfriend is paying child support arrears according to a current existing order, DCSS should not intercept money from his bank account. This is not to say that such a thing never happens, though. It would be best for him to speak with DCSS or have an attorney speak with DCSS to make sure THEY BELIEVE his account is in good standing.
