Can Child support take taxes for an upcoming year?

My boyfriend claimed me and our child on his 2017 taxes and got audited. They took a portion of state taxes for his past due 2017 child support and then we’ve waited almost a year for our portion of the return. We were sent a notice in October saying they were done and our refund amount would be 4880 and to sign a form and send back. We then received it a few weeks later and it’s only 1300...they took $3500 for 2018 child support. Can we dispute this? Had we not had to wait on them for almost a year, there wouldn’t have been built up back child support when the taxes were released to us. 2018 child support hadn’t been billed yet in 2017...so how is it okay to take money that was already owed to us for a bill that hadn’t even came out?
