Dear Socrateaser,
I currently reside in Hawaii. My child was born in Hawaii, a child support order was issued by the state of Hawaii, and I currently send my support checks to the state of Hawaii. I haven't been away from the islands for more than 3 months since my daughter was born.
Biological mother and child moved to California in 2002, and later to New Mexico where they currently reside.
Since 2002, I have recieved letters informing me that my employers were sent requests "to obtain income verification...to establish, modify or enforce a child support obligation" for my child. I have called the California child support agency to inform them that Hawaii has already issued a support order. Their response was that since I am "in the system", I will continue to receive such documents.
I would like to know the following:
1. Why am I receiving such correspondence from California?
2. What will California use such income verification for?
3. Can they release such information to the biological mother?
4. Do I need to nip this in the bud and call them to inform them, yet again, that Hawaii has already issued a support order?
5. Why is California involved if the mother lives in New Mexico?
Thank you,

P.S. This may be a double post since I am not sure my message went through the first time.
