Legal Question in Family Law in California

I was orderd to pay for child support for a child that I have never seen. This came from a judgment in which was by default because I didn't show up to court 18 yrs ago. the child is now 18 and graduated high school but they are still garnishing my wages. Along with a large amount of arrears. what do I do? how do I get them to stop garnishing my wages? a couple yrs ago when I was going to court to try to get some kind of visitation and a reduce amount, one of the ladies from the court house (I believe she actually worked in the offices of my case workers. I am not sure but I can't help but feel like I was tricked into filling out a bunch of forms inwhich I was told was to reduce my arrears amount by a great deal, but I feel like it was their way of finding out my income status) Are there such forms that will reduce the amount of back pay/arrears after the child has turned 18 and is no longer in high school?
