What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? MI

Court order says as long as mother is current on child support, mother gets one child, father gets other child to claim on taxes. I (mother) was behind on child support at the end of the year by less than one month's payment.
When I requested a document showing my payments for 2013 it showed all of the payments I made. But, child support had issued me a refund of child support at about half-way through the year. Had child support not issued me a refund, that mind you I never requested but do remember getting, I would have never been behind in child support. When I asked child support why they gave me a refund they stated, after overages sit in an account for so long, a refund is sent to the payer.
I am asking would I still be unable to claim our one child then since I paid all year, but erroneously child support sent me a refund which then caused me to be behind? I am pretty sure I cannot because behind is behind. I guess I just need someone else to say no you cannot, behind is behind.
Thanks.
