Question about child support and adoption

if my ex is paying child support via wage garnishment and he has NO choice but to pay or go to jail (on probation for contempt with the county) is this considered willfully paying child support? He hasn't paid anything of his arrears back.

I am just confused by what is considered willful these days because I know is CA if you have a job they attach your wages for CS no matter what?

If this is not considered willfully paying then in 5 months he will have been gone for 1 year (his choice to not see the kids) can I take away his rights, and if his rights get taken away does he still have to pay child support until my fiance adopts?

Sorry for the silly questions but I don't get the legal talk of this?

Also I go to court tomorrow to get SOLE custody of my kids after a 7 month struggle, if this is granted to me is it one step easier for my fiance to adopt later?

Colleen who is really confused right now!
