Does a judge have jurisdiction to appoint a child support commissioner as a temporary judge?

California, United States of America


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

entered into when the contempt hearing began. In this context, however, the distinction makes no practical difference. 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. Although a judge must later review the order and entertain any objections to it by the parties, the record will contain the commissioner's subjective findings." (Orange County Dept. of Child Support Services v. Superior Court, at p. 807.)
