Information Concerning Address And Employment Of Obligor - Earnings Assignment Order - Family Law - CA

Section § 5280

This section explains what happens if someone who is supposed to receive child support (the obligee) doesn't know where the person who owes them support (the obligor) is or who their employer is. The local child support agency must then contact a special service to find out this information, and when they get it, they must tell the court where the obligor last lived and who their last employer was.

If the obligee making the application under this chapter also states that the whereabouts of the obligor or the identity of the obligor’s employer is unknown to the party to whom support has been ordered to be paid, the local child support agency shall do both of the following:

(a) Contact the California parent locator service maintained by the Department of Justice in the manner prescribed in Section 17506.

(b) Upon receiving the requested information, notify the court of the last known address of the obligor and the name and address of the obligor’s last known employer.

Section § 5282

This law requires an employer to inform the person who is supposed to receive payments (the obligee) when the employee who is required to make those payments (the obligor) leaves their job. The employer must send a notice through regular mail to the obligee's last known address when the next payment is due.

After the obligor has left employment with the employer, the employer, at the time the next payment is due on the assignment order, shall notify the obligee designated in the assignment order by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the last known address of the obligee that the obligor has left employment.
