Big question: was the money already disbursed to her, or is it sitting in the Domestic Relations coffers?

My husband was getting screwed by a situation just like that at one point--his employer had accidentally overdrawn the garnishment, and the domestic relations office would neither disburse the money to her as a credit for the next month or give it back. They insisted that they would simply hold onto the money until he (inevitably, was the implication) became behind on his payments, and then disburse it to her as a regular payment that he had missed (while still assessing him for arrears.) Worst case scenario, they assured him, he would get the money back in about 16 years when the child support obligation ended.

He called them every single day and harassed them until eventually they wrote him a check for the overage. If the money is physically in their hands and not hers, they can give it back if they want to.
