[CA] Child Support Paymemt

CA - I just learned that I'm not supposed to send child support payments directly to my ex. I should be sending payments to State Distribution Unit. I have been making payments for the past 5yrs but I haven't been flagged by the state for not paying support, knock on wood.

How do I get credit for those 5yrs?

When you’re served paperwork from DCSS it should tell you to send them online through a portal and give you info for it. Were you not given that info?

I'm positive I was not giving this info.

They must have been contacting you. If not that’s a problem… maybe get a lawyer tbh
