Can 2 states take my tax refund for the same children?

My child support case is in one state; my kids live in another. I’m paying my child to to the state that the case is in; I’m up to date with the payments. However, now the state in which my children live is taking my tax refund. This is the thrid time it has happened.

Assuming you are current with respect to your child support payments then the levy that you were hit with as to your tax refund is an old outdated levy. As such, you need to make a motion with the family law court to terminate the levy due to being current on your child support payments. You should consult with a family law attorney for assistance in such an endeavor.
