Who files a child support judgement, the custodial parent or the state?

I'm just wondering who initiates a judgement for arrears. Does the state do it on their own or does the custodial parent have to request it?Who files a child support judgement, the custodial parent or the state?
The custodial sues the ex for money (arrearages) owed in courtWho files a child support judgement, the custodial parent or the state?
Depends.





1) If the parent that is taking care of the child goes and gets welfare the state will file a claim for child support agianst the other person to get the money back.





2) If the parent dosent claim welfare, they will go to a lawyer and start a case on their own.
Well, in Texas, the Attorney General submits it to the court, but usually you have to harass them to do so.
You have to go to the child support division and tell them you want to go after the arrears....if you don't, they don't know he's behind.
