Please Help We Have tried Everything

Okay I about to throw my hands up on this one, I haven't heard or read anyone else going through something like this.
My husband has a 5 year old daughter and she lives with her mother in Kentucky. Me and my husband live in Tenn. with our 7 month old son. My husband was ordered to pay child support before we met. My husband and his ex lived in Tenn. for a short while when they were still together, somehow when she went to file for food stamps, even though they were in the same residence, a case for child support against my husband was opened. They both moved back to Kentucky and later split up where the case for child support was opened there as well, somewhere in the middle of it all, the case for Tenn. was never closed.
My husband got behind in child support while we were still living in Kentucky together, we then moved to Tenn., got better jobs, and got caught up with child support in Kentucky because that is where the child and mother live and that is where he has always paid child support. Now Tenn. is after him for child support left and right. They claim every time he talks to them that the child and mother still lives in Tenn. and Kentucky child support office has faxed them paperwork proving that they live in Kentucky, not Tenn. Child support was taken out of our income tax check and everything recently and Tenn. is still saying they're going to send out a warrant and everything. His child support is paid in full in Kentucky where the child and mother live. I don't know what to do, Tenn. refuses to fix it, he has two cases open in two different states for ONE child. If anyone has any insight to this, please let me know, I would really appreciate it, I'm his wife, this affects me too.
