I will try to be as brief and detailed as possible. I filled for divorce in Texas while my ex was in California with my son. For about 3 years while she resided in CA and I lived in Texas there was never a California C.S agency involved only Texas. It wasn’t until I lost my job and fell behind on my payments. At that point I am assuming she went to California C.S. to ask for enforcement of payments. Which in theory should have been directed to Texas for enforcement. Not the case though, I constantly received letters in the mail from child support of California. I am going to call B.S. on having two agencies open for one child regardless of where the child resides. Due to the fact that she was served in California for the divorce and Texas C.S knew where she was the whole time.

Needless to say the issue I run into now is monthly payments. I get paid once a month. My wages are garnished court ordered by Judge not by the agency. So if the 1st falls on a Sunday I would be paid the Friday before. It might be the 29th or 30th. Texas accepts my payments and counts them as paying ahead forwarding them to California. California on the other hand applies them to the month they receive them on. So if I pay Aug 1 and another payment on 31 Aug they will apply both payments for Aug not count one as Sept. Wouldn’t be an issue expect that they hold the check for 30 days before sending it back to me to reapply the payment along with some notice of failure to pay blah blah blah.

Now California is stating that they will garnish my wages for another late payment. California has a power trip and sends out countless letters to everyone for payment even though I technically am on time with the state of Texas which is the overall authority of my payments. My concern is they are going to mess my pay up and have me making double payments every month waiting on a return check.

Anyone else deal with this kind of issue and any input on what I can do legally. It is more annoying than anything. I had previously asked legaladvice/reddit. My case never moved to California it is still in Texas. If we go to court, it is Texas. My payments go to Texas. California just imbedded themselves into this and now I can't seem to get rid of them to save my life. As advised by my lawyer here in Texas I don't owe them anything as long as Texas has it. So medical insurance Texas has a copy but California sends me letters saying they need it as well. My ex has the insurance information. I have no contact for my Ex or my son so asking them to close out the case will not happen. Thanks everyone
