My ex-husband owes back child support for around 4000.00

If the withholding order is for current support only and does not include a payment toward the arrearages, you can file an enforcement and/or a confirmation action. That will establish the exact amount owed to you and set him up on a payment plan that is in addition to the amount of your current support. Stuart Brown sbrown@sbrownlaw.com

You state "I know for a fact that the children do not live with her." That will be the issue at trial because she will likely disagree with you. Make sure you have evidence other than what the children tell you, evidence such as a witness, school records with the other address, etc. When you feel that you can prove it, we can file for a modification of the support so the money actually goes to the children.

You can file a petition for modification and draft an agreed modification order. There are, however, a lot of issues in a child custody and support modification, and having an attorney help you would be a very good idea. You might be surprised how low the fees can be for an agreed modification. Stuart Brown sbrown@sbrownlaw.com

Since she filed in California, I assume she and the child still reside in there. You will need to get an attorney in California as that state likely has jurisdiction over your son. I wish you the best.
