Existing law governs court orders for spousal support in proceedings for dissolution of marriage or legal separation of the parties. Existing law also establishes statewide uniform guidelines for calculating court-ordered child support. A court ordering spousal or child support is required to include in its order an earnings assignment order for support, ordering the obligor's employer to pay a specified portion of the obligor's earnings to the obligee. Under existing law, upon the filing and service of a motion and a notice of motion by the obligor, the court is required to terminate an earnings assignment order for spousal support if any past due support has been paid in full and if certain conditions exist.
