The following excerpt is from Cnty. of San Bernardino v. Gross, E070189 (Cal. App. 2019):

Family Code section 4251, subdivision (c) provides that a child support commissioner 'may hear the matter and make findings of fact and a recommended order' even if a party objects to him or her acting as a temporary judge.

(Orange County Dept. of Child Support Services v. Superior Court, at p. 807.)
