In order to stop the child support garnishment you need to file for modification of child support and it will only be modified after a court order. Any modification entered after the filing of the request for modification will be retroactive to the date of filing and you will be entitled to a... Read more »
State of California refused to change certificate after payment of amendment.

Back and were we are headed to and he says no I did text him and have all the text between us. I told him it will only be for 2 weeks we don't have any orders in place can he say I abducted our child even though I said only for that amount of time
That would depend on the terms of the custody/timeshare orders in place. You need to read them very carefully to determine what time you are allocated for vacations, if any, any restrictions on destinations/travel, and notice provisions. Such as requiring advance written notice. If you are... Read more »

1) A “Marvin” action; and
2) Putative spouse doctrine.
Finally, California does not recognize common law marriage (but does allow for divorce... Read more »

Call or get online with the Social Security Administration; explain the situation to them and they will head you down the right path. May be a slow process but just take one step at a time and don't lose your patience.
You are, I assume, asking about spousal support. In a legal separation you have all the same rights as you do in a divorce action; except you cannot dissolve the marriage. Consequently, you can seek spousal support. Being able to seek it though may be different than being awarded it. That will... Read more »

Actually, if she were to marry him it might increase your support. New spouse's income is not disposable to payment of child support. The only thing a new spouse's income does is put mom's income in a new tax bracket so she nets less income for the child support calculations. The... Read more »
That's a really interesting question during this Covid-19 time in our lives.

I have child support court on July 7 and live with my girlfriend and our child but will have to start paying child support. Will her income effect how much support I will have to pay? What if we split bills and share income will judge consider I have more income ?
No - your girlfriend’s income has does not affect prospective child support. The judge will consider your income, expenses albeit are a part of the I NBC one and expense declaration, generally do not affect child support calculations.

There is no legal authority for using Covid 19 as a reason to violate custody/visitation orders. She is in the wrong. However if you got tested and you know the results are negative, why not just let her see the results so you can see your kids. Once the courts reopen, you can file a motion to... Read more »
