Legal Question in Family Law in California

Back child support to the state of california, not to my children

My ex-wife went on welfare in 1992 for 2 years & told them I wasn't paying.

They waited 12 years to attach my wages, charging 25% interest the whole time.

I was never notified durint the 12 years. They want half of my wages & the IRS

wants a quarter. The child support goes to the state, not my kids (Which are

grown) Is there a time limit where for them to collect? I know the IRS has 10

years. I can't live on 25% of my salary & I need help to work this out. If they

notifyed me years ago, I would have paid them but now they want 31,000

dollars.

I now live in New Mexico
