Question

In the state of California can you collect child support from the father if you live together

Answer

Historically there is case law that says one parent can sue for support, even if the obligor parent lives with the child to be supported. In modern practice, it is very rare and the dissomaster program does not generate a value for child support when the obligor parent has 100 custody and visitation in a cohabiting arrangement. I suggest you speak to a competent family law attorney near you, because you may have facts that require further analysis and discussion.
