Child support services should be notified that two deductions are being made and that there is only a court order for one deduction. Unless what they are doing is each taking half in which case you aren't really being screwed, but I would still get them to agree to only have one agency deduct the money. see link

There is nothing to prohibit more than one state from collecting support at the same time (especially if they're trying to collect past-due support) - of course, the total collected cannot exceed the support obligation.
