Arrears In Both Arizona And California

by Sandra
(California)

I have an arrears case {interstate case} started
in Arizona. The order amount was 6,200, and as of now it should be payed off. I went to LA county dcss and the case worker reviewed my paperwork and closed my case. She did this because it was the same case that was opened in Arizona. The Arizona case had jurisdiction. LA had 10,000 in arrears and the case worker could not explain how they came up with that amount.

LA also did not have record of the payments that went to Arizona. Arizona did not have records of the payments that went to California as well. When LA closed my case and Arizona was notified, Arizona in turn picked up the amount of 10,000 that LA had at that time. I was already down to 1,800 left to pay.

Arizona child support will not respond and never notified me as to why they made that change. What can I do to get this problem solved? Can the other parent request to have this case closed, so no more money is taken from me. How can I get this back into court if the case originated from Arizona, and I live in California? Any help you can give would be great.
