Exactly! That's why you need better self control.

Yes there are gaps. You filled in a couple of them but not all. If you expect us to help, we need the facts.

It's a joint account. Child support sees that money as jointly yours. YOU owe the money to your roommate, not child support.
Correction here: In California and many other States garnishment is automatic. It has nothing to do with your payment history. When the State is involved they do it right from the begining.

If you believe that is all you owe then your kidding yourself. You also owe for 8 years of child support plus 10% compounded interest. So in fact you owe for more then 14 years of child support with the interest added. And its still being added to it daily. The California system is insane.

It's your girlfriend and you co-mingled money to pay expenses OR she's a roommate. Which is it?

So it would appear that CA policy is to try to get the arrears as quickly as possible. So when they find assets they seize them.

So the answer to your question is to try and prove that the only monies in the account were your roommate's/girlfriends's. And get your name off the account.
