County of San Diego Dept. of Child Support Services v. Smart
In an action initiated by the County of San Diego Department of Child Support Services (the Department) to recoup public expenditures for child support provided to his two minor sons, Gregory A. Smart, Sr. appeals a pendente lite order directing him to pay $136 in monthly child support to the California State Disbursement Unit (CSDU). Smart contends the order violates his federal constitutional rights because he was not provided counsel at public expense. Because Smart has no constitutional right to appointed counsel in this action, we affirm the challenged order.
