Legal Question in Family Law in California

California child support lien released in 2012 by orange county (placed lien in 2008) The child support was never paid. Dad got all the money from the sale of home. $39,000 arrears in San Diego County which is correct still is shown on account. Child custody changed to dad in 2011 which closed my CS case in San Diego. Orange County saw no open cases so released lien 11/11.Father told title company he paid all his CS and the only case open was his as of the custody change. I was never contacted by orange county to verify if there arrears. How was this allowed to happen? Are there any govermental immunity laws protecting dad or the da office or was it an oversight that gives me reason to go after my money.

The fact that Orange County released the lien does not mean that the judgment has been satisfied and you can still enforce the child support order. Probably you cannot go against the Department of Child Support Services, but you can proceed against Father. I would need more facts to give any advice concerning specific actions against Father.
