More details to this question:
My parental rights were terminated by the state of Oklahoma after my son was placed into DHS custody and I proved unfit to care for my child to the court. My sons father was awarded full custody and somehow without my consent, the child support I was ordered to pay to the state while my case was open is still open and my sons father became the reciepient. Is this legal. How do I reverse this ?

That is usually correct, but if there was a past due amount, it along with interest will still be due. Ask for a Record of payments and look for entried for current support obligation to end at the time Parental rights were terminated by the State. If they weren't terminated, ask for a hearing and challenge their computation. The method used for applying payments, seized tax returns and lump sum payments can warrant hiring a lawyer to get them to compute the figures as they should be computed.
