If a Custodial Parent wants the 'state' to act as a collection agency on THEIR behalf, they should pay for it. Besides, the NCP already pays WAY MORE in their fair share of the expenses. Since the DCSE 'represents' the CP and provides 'free' legal advice for the CP, but NOT the NCP, the CP SHOULD have to pay a fee. The CP can always choose to have the Judge order the $$ be paid via direct deposit/wage garnishment directly to them, they don't need the 'state' to do EVERYTHING for them.
