What is the name of your state? Virginia

Ex-wife has filed false back-owed child support allegations in 3 different states that were dismissed for lack of evidence. Now,
she has filed another allegation in another state.

Each and every time, I am forced to defend myself at great personal and financial expense by hiring attorney, etc. Are there any penalties, admonishments or repercussions that can be levied against my ex-wife as it borderlines harassment at this point.

In 2 of the last 3 allegation, both my federal and state returns were intercepted until the allegations cleared, usually months later. After all the legal wrangling, i end up with no money because my returns end up paying for all or part of my legal fees.

Is there any way, a father and/or non-custodial parent can have the custodial parent reprimanded, admonished or fined for filing false complaints or allegations with these agencies as well as pay for our legal costs against these false accusations.

I don't understand how she is filing for back support in 3 different states?

You can counterclaim that the suit is frivilous and ask for sanctions. You carry the burden of proof that the claim is frivilous.
You can also request in your pleadings attorney's fees and court cost. It's up to the judge whether they are awarded and to whom.
