Estoppel of party will bind DA if conduct producing estoppel occurred prior to assignment of child support to county.

Estoppel defense available against DA in RURESA proceeding if no aid has been paid.

Concealment, ending when child a minor, is no defense to c/s arrearages action. County not estopped from seeking arrearages or reimbursement as assignee.

Estoppel will not apply against public agency if such would nullify a strong rule of public policy (such as welfare reimbursement).

Conduct (concealment) by assignor (W) after valid assignment cannot affect rights of assignee (County) or produce estoppel.
