Scrivner’s Child Support Hearing Delayed Until February Amid Legal Battles

Kern County  – A hearing regarding former Kern County Supervisor Zack Scrivner’s request to eliminate child support payments has been postponed to February, according to court records. The delay follows a request by Scrivner’s wife, Christina Scrivner, who cited a pre-paid vacation that will keep her out of the state on the original January 16 hearing date.

The new hearing is set for February 4, the same day both parties are scheduled to address a domestic violence restraining order filed against Scrivner.

A temporary restraining order currently prohibits Scrivner from contacting his wife or their four children. The order was issued after an incident at the family’s Tehachapi home in late April. According to Sheriff Donny Youngblood, deputies reported that Scrivner had been involved in a physical altercation with his children over allegations involving a preteen.

The state Attorney General’s Office is reviewing the case, but Scrivner has not been charged with a crime.

In August, Scrivner resigned from the Kern County Board of Supervisors, citing significant health and medical issues. That same month, he agreed to pay $2,947 in monthly child support retroactive to May 1.

However, Scrivner is now seeking to reduce those payments to zero, claiming his health conditions have left him unable to work or qualify for disability insurance.

The outcome of the upcoming hearings could have significant implications for both Scrivner and his family.
