Legal Question in Family Law in California

DCSS closed my child's support case when her stepfather adopted her in 2012 Over 20,000 is still owed in arrears child support up to the adoption order. Since I did not waive my child's right to arrears support and DCSS closed the case, how do I collect it? I have information that he divorced his wife and quit his job so he would not have to pay arrears support and after the adoption, remarried the same woman and today they have a thriving business together. Thank you.

File a motion with the court to determine the amount of the arrears. Bring evidence of non payment to court. After you obtain a court judgment as to the amount of the arrears, you can obtain a writ of attachment and have it served on his business or bank account. Go to the library and check out a book on debt collection.
