Heading: whether the chancellor erred in failing to recognize and apply the waiver, joinder and assignment documents signed by the children.

Text: ¶ 28. Cheryl's sole authority in support of her assignment of error that the chancellor erred in failing to recognize the documents by which the children purport to simultaneously join the action, waive all process, and assign all of their rights to their unpaid child support to their mother is Miss.Code Ann. § 11-7-3 (Supp.2003). Miss.Code Ann. § 11-7-3 does allow for the assignment of choses in action; however, child support benefits belong to the child with the custodial parent serving a fiduciary capacity. Trunzler v. Trunzler, 431 So.2d 1115, 1116 (Miss.1983). This issue is without merit.
