My question involves child support in the State of: California

My Husband has agreed to let his Son's Step-Father adopt him. The Mother has agreed to terminate Child Support.

We have heard the adoption process can take a while. What can both parties do to end the Child Support garnishment as soon as possible?

My Husband and the Mother have agreed to modify the Court Order and stipulate to end Child Support due to the adoption.

Can the Mother contact DCSS and let them know about the adoption, and authorize ending the support order?

Any other steps that should be taken?

Thank you for your help.
does the payor owe any arrears to the mother?


Does the payor owe any arrears to the state (such as if the mother was on any sort of state aid where the state took the child support payment rather than it going to the mother)?
