    By Greg Wilson, Executive Director, Child Support Directors Association Several California Legislators have introduced bills of interest to the child support program. The 2019 individual legislator deadline to introduce bills was February 22 and so any new bills beyond those listed here will have to be introduced by a committee or result from a gut-and-amend of an existing bill. CSDA’s Legislative Advocacy Committee is tracking these bills and will be developing positions statements.

    LPC Corner: The Far-Reaching Impact of Jameson v Desta

    March 7, 2019 /

    By Colin Anderson, Lead Attorney, Yolo County DCSS A very interesting case was recently decided by the California Supreme Court this summer that may have significant impacts on IV-D courts throughout the state. The case is Jameson v Desta (2018) 5 Cal.5th 594. Jameson involves an incarcerated indigent litigant who attempted over the course of a decade to successfully bring a medical malpractice action regarding his medical care provided through a physician assigned to the prison. Ultimately, plaintiff’s case was finally set for trial. During a pre-trial proceeding held 10 days prior to trial, plaintiff was told that the court would not provide a court reporter and that if he…

    Experiences from the Hackathon

    January 14, 2019 /

    By Sacramento, Solano and San Bernardino Counties The Hackathon project at the State DCSS provided LCSAs with an amazing opportunity to get involved in the ongoing development of the Child Support Enforcement system. The collaboration between the state and LCSAs fostered the development of new, creative ideas that led to incredible success. Furthermore, the project allowed LCSAs to provide valuable input into changes that will affect caseworkers on a daily basis. A few of us who participated would like to share our incredible experiences and successes. From the perspective of Laura Galsi (Sacramento County DCSS), what stood out was how much intricate work goes on behind the scenes in CSE.…

    Did We Define the Moment?

    January 14, 2019 /

    Don Semon, Director, El Dorado County DCSS, 2018 President of CSDA Board of Directors I wrote an article for the One Voice Newsletter back in January as I began my Presidency of CSDA. In that article, I talked about 2018 being a “Defining Moment” for our association. I explained that one of my biggest mantras in life was based on a line in the movie, Tin Cup, when Roy says, “…when a defining moment comes along, you define the moment…or the moment defines you.” As I mentioned in that article, I believe life is made up of defining moments, and either you define the moment, or the moment will define…

When you participate in resource fairs or outreach, how do you provide real-time case information, generate license releases, or collect child support payments? These were the problems facing our department, and we knew we needed to find creative solutions. A full-service Mobile Vehicle Unit (MVU) seemed like the perfect solution. Caseloads continue to decrease statewide, yet…

    LPC Corner – “Mom, dad, and … a second dad?”

    January 14, 2019 /

    By Rob Lafer, Chief Legal Counsel, San Diego County DCSS No, it’s not the theme for a new sitcom. A recent appellate case highlights the relatively new California law (Family Code section 7612 subdivision (c)), which allows a court to determine that a child has more than two parents. In the case of C.A. v. C.P. “(2018) 29 Cal.App.5th 27, a man (plaintiff) wanted to be legally recognized as the child’s father, so he filed an action in court against the child’s mother and the mother’s husband. The mother in this case had conceived a child with a coworker (plaintiff) while still married to her husband. The child’s mother (wife…

During my teenage years, I worked at Glacial Trails Scout Ranch, located near Donner Summit, for five summers. I really enjoyed my experiences working at this summer camp and I am proud to have earned the rank of Eagle Scout. I attended college at CSU, Chico earning a B.S. in Business Administration. I financed my education primarily by enlisting in the U.S. Army Reserves as a Combat Engineer.
