5 questions on this step

A private undertaking can add to support. It cannot reduce support the law requires or that a court has ordered.

This is a voluntary private undertaking to give support. It cannot reduce mandatory support, a court order, or a right to future support, and it is not a compromise of any of them

How is the giver related to the person supported?

The law requires support only between spouses, parents and children, other ascendants and descendants, and brothers and sisters (Family Code Arts. 195 and 196). A promise to support anyone else is a gift (donation) of money, which needs a written acceptance and may be subject to donor's tax.

The recipient is the giver's childThe recipient is the giver's parent, grandparent, or other ascendantThe recipient is the giver's spouseThe recipient is the giver's brother or sisterSomeone the law does not require the giver to support, such as a niece, nephew, cousin, or in-law

Is the giver's parentage of the child already legally established?

Naming the recipient as your child in this signed or notarized document can be used as proof of filiation (parentage) under Family Code Arts. 172 and 175. If parentage is not yet established, choose the second option: the document will not call the recipient your child, and the support is treated as a gift. Get legal advice if parentage is disputed.

Yes, for example by a birth certificate the giver signed, a prior written acknowledgment, or a court judgmentNo, or the giver does not want this document to state it
