It is obvious that Zach Scrivner, the disgraced, just resigned Kern County Supervisor being investigated for abusing his children, on august 5 agreed to pay child support in court. The very next day, he wrote the court saying he did not want to pay child support for his own children.
““I am very sensitive to the current circumstances we are faced with, especially with our four children. I want to be able to financially assist with their daily needs. However, unfortunately, these current circumstances have left me with no income. I respectfully request that the court set any future child support payments at zero,” Zack Scrivner wrote in the letter.
Zack Scrivner wrote he would be able to retroactively pay the child support payments from April 30 to July 31. His wife, Christina Scrivner, had sent a letter in July to the courts requesting that their court hearing be sooner than December since Scrivner refused to voluntarily pay child support since April.”
This is what we know: he takes no responsibility for his actions against his children, he takes no responsibility for disappearing for three months as a Supervisor. Now he wants to take no responsibility for the care of his children.

- Former 2nd District Kern County Supervisor Zack Scrivner filed a letter in Kern County Superior Court requesting to pay no child support the day after he and his estranged wife came to a payment agreement during their divorce case hearing.
Zack Scrivner, who had been on medical leave since May and resigned from the Kern County Board of Supervisors effective Aug. 2, said in the letter he is “exploring other avenues to secure a revenue stream.” He said the reason he can’t pay future child support payments is his inability to qualify for state disability insurance.
“I am very sensitive to the current circumstances we are faced with, especially with our four children. I want to be able to financially assist with their daily needs. However, unfortunately, these current circumstances have left me with no income. I respectfully request that the court set any future child support payments at zero,” Zack Scrivner wrote in the letter.
Zack Scrivner wrote he would be able to retroactively pay the child support payments from April 30 to July 31. His wife, Christina Scrivner, had sent a letter in July to the courts requesting that their court hearing be sooner than December since Scrivner refused to voluntarily pay child support since April.
Zack Scrivner’s letter is dated Aug. 2, the day after Scrivner submitted his resignation letter to the chairman of the Board of Supervisors. However, the letter regarding child support was not filed in court until Tuesday.
On Monday, Zack Scrivner, his wife, Christina Scrivner, and their respective attorneys met in court for their divorce case; Zack Scrivner appeared via Zoom. During the hearing, Zack Scrivner’s divorce attorney, Robert Carbone, agreed his client would pay $2,947 per month in child support.
Zack Scrivner and Christina Scrivner share four children, ages 10 through 17 years old. The pair has been married for 18 years but have been separated since November and Christina filed for divorce in March.trikes out five

Christina Scrivner has had temporary full custody of her children since April. She also has a temporary restraining order for herself and her children against Zack Scrivner following the raid on Zack Scrivner’s Tehachapi home in April.
On April 23, Kern County Sheriff deputies went to Zack Scrivner’s home after reports that he was possibly armed and possibly suicidal.
In a press conference two days later, Kern County Sheriff Donny Youngblood said he sent deputies to the home after he received a call from Kern County District Attorney Cynthia Zimmer, who is Zack Scrivner’s aunt.
Youngblood said Zack Scrivner suffered from two non-fatal stab wounds. It is alleged that one of Zack Scrivner’s child stabbed him in an act of sibling defense to protect one of their siblings from being sexually assaulted by their father. An attorney for Scrivner has denied this account.
As of Friday, there are no criminal charges filed against Zack Scrivner regarding the alleged incident. The investigation is being handled by the California Attorney General’s Office after the Kern County District Attorney’s Office had a conflict of interest.
The next court hearing for Zack and Christina Scrivner’s divorce case is Dec. 2.
