Legal Question in Family Law in California

I was substantiated of sexual abuse in 2009 by CPS of my minor daughters, an act that I did not do. The Family court stopped my visitation; denied me any contact under any setting; my legal and physical custody changed to 0%. As a result, I have not seen my children at all since 2009. I appealed CPS decision of substantiation and won the appeal. The decision was reversed and remanded. The trial court judge in a different civil court changed the determination to �inconclusive�. I was forced to pay child support all these years at $1,200 per month. I have a child support hearing coming up in family court. I also have child support arrears.

Question: Can I request the family court to modify my child support, so that my child support since 2009 is made zero or reduced substantially, since it is the system that denied me seeing the children all these years for something that I had not done? My Family law judge is ignoring my latest evidence, since she sided with the CPS all along. Is there any case laws , that can help me recover or adjust my CS for the 6 years that I had to pay based on 0% timesharing? Is it not illegal to make someone pay child support and deny him any visitation?
