Federal & State law Changes

CALIFORNIA

I just received a letter from the administrator of the Family Support Division saying;

"Due to recent changes in Federal and State Law, the child support program must send child supprt computer records to the Fed. Gov. The Fed. Gov. will give the information to the courts, child support agencies, and sometimes to the other parent of your child....."

Can they really do this? Does this mean that my ex can go into the support agency and ask for information on me such as if I'm employed, where I'm employed, etc.?

The letter came with a form to fill out stating that IF I am a "victim" of domestic violence, the case information will not be given to the other party. Should I fill this out just to keep my records from him?

Does having numerous police reports, and some expired restraining orders count as proof of some kind of violence?

Pulling my hair out!!

Yes, the restraining orders even though they are old and police reports should be sufficient evidence to keep your records from becoming public.
