Christina Scrivner, the wife of Kern County Supervisor Zack Scrivner, is asking a judge to expedite her request for child support.
Her request comes a few months after Scrivner was accused of sexually assaulting one of his children.
The big picture: A Kern County judge has moved up the hearing for child support to Aug. 5 after initially being scheduled for December.
- Christina Scrivner said in a letter to the court that she cannot wait five more months for child support.
- “I have already gone three months without any child support for our four children from Mr. Scrivner. Mr. Scrivner has refused to voluntarily begin paying child support for our children,” she wrote. “Therefore, I am in desperate need of receiving child support from Mr. Scrivner for our four minor children.”
- She also wrote that she does not know where her estranged husband is. He has been on medical leave from the Board of Supervisors and has not been seen in public in months.
- She said in the letter that she believes Zack Scrivner is making $150,000 a year as a supervisor, and she earns $173,040 in her position at Adventist Health.
- Christina Scrivner said she has had their four children with her since the incident in April and has had to put them in counseling.
Flashback: Kern County Sheriff’s Deputies responded to a call at Zack Scrivner’s residence in Tehachapi in April.
- Kern County Sheriff Donny Youngblood said Zack Scrivner was stabbed twice in the upper torso by one of his sons, who was trying to protect one of his siblings from sexual assault.
- Zack Scrivner’s attorney H.A. Sala denied the allegations of sexual assault and said the son stabbed Zack Scrivner to keep him from committing suicide with a gun.
- Youngblood also said that detectives seized around 30 firearms, electronics and psychedelic mushrooms from the house.
- California Attorney General Rob Bonta is reviewing the case.
