Ultimately your ex owes the money back to you. You have no case against anyone else
Welcome to the wonderful world of the Florida Gestapo. Child Support Enforcement will flat out lie to a parent in order to obtain and continue to get child support, they hope it is really owed but they do not care. Your only hope is to get to the Circuit Court Judge responsible for your case, the enforcement officers and Magistrates are worthless. Also the Dept of Revenue will sometimes refuse to accept the Judges decision, then you have to file an appeal to the Districe Court. Isn't Big Government wonderful and caring?
