2021 California Code|Family Code - FAM|DIVISION 9 - SUPPORT|PART 2 - CHILD SUPPORT|CHAPTER 2 - Court-Ordered Child Support|ARTICLE 4 - Child Support Commissioners|Section 4250.

4250.  (a) The Legislature finds and declares the following:(1) Child and spousal support are serious legal obligations.(2) The current system for obtaining, modifying, and enforcing child and spousal support orders is inadequate to meet the future needs of California’s children due to burgeoning caseloads within local child support agencies and the growing number of parents who are representing themselves in family law actions.(3) The success of California’s child support enforcement program depends upon its ability to establish and enforce child support orders quickly and efficiently.(4) There is a compelling state interest in creating an expedited process in the courts that is cost-effective and accessible to families, for establishing and enforcing child support orders in cases being enforced by the local child support agency.(5) There is a compelling state interest in having a simple, speedy, conflict-reducing system, that is both cost-effective and accessible to families, for resolving all issues concerning children, including support, health insurance, custody, and visitation in family law cases that do not involve enforcement by the local child support agency.(b) Therefore, it is the intent of the Legislature to: (1) provide for commissioners to hear child support cases being enforced by the local child support agency; (2) adopt uniform and simplified procedures for all child support cases; and (3) create an Office of the Family Law Facilitator in the courts to provide education, information, and assistance to parents with child support issues.(Amended by Stats. 2000, Ch. 808, Sec. 42. Effective September 28, 2000.)

Training programs shall include both federal and state laws concerning child support and related issues.(3) Establish caseload, case processing, and staffing standards for child support commissioners on or before April 1, 1997, which shall set forth the maximum number of cases that each child support commissioner can process. These standards shall be reviewed and, if appropriate, revised by the Judicial Council every two years.(4) Adopt uniform rules of court and forms for use in Title IV-D child support cases.(5) Offer technical assistance to courts regarding issues relating to implementation and operation of the child support commissioner system, including assistance related to funding, staffing, and the sharing of resources between courts.(6) Establish procedures for the distribution of funding to the courts for child support commissioners, family law facilitators pursuant to Division 14 (commencing with Section 10000), and related allowable costs.(7) Adopt rules that define the exceptional circumstances in which judges may hear Title IV-D child support matters as provided in subdivision (a) of Section 4251.(8) Undertake other actions as appropriate to ensure the successful implementation and operation of child support commissioners in the counties.(c) As used in this article, “Title IV-D” means Title IV-D of the federal Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. Sec. 651 et seq.).(Amended by Stats. 2002, Ch. 784, Sec. 105. Effective January 1, 2003.)
