Legal Question in Family Law in California

Department of Child Support Services in Orange County, CA filed an Abstruct Judg. 3 years ago on the non-custodial parent. He just sold his residence as a short sale at the end of March 2011.
On the first week of April, Department of Child Support removed that Judgment by filing a Release at clerk's office. However, there was and still is a balance owed in child support of over $1,000.00.
I asked them why did they release the Abstruct Judgment and they answered: This Department cannot provide you with the information you are requesting in regards to the Release of an Abstract Judgment as it relates to non-custodial parent. Doing so would be a clear breach of his rights to confidentiality.
1. Why would Department release the judgment?
2. Can they release a judgment when money has not been paid?
3. Is my child at risk of never collecting the support owed?
Please help me with an answer to this issue.

1. Can't tell with the information you have provided. This would require some investigation and review.

2. Yes.

3. No, not by a release of an abstract. Yes, by bureaucratic inattention and inefficiency.
