Collins v. Collins

In Collins v. Collins (1998), 127 Ohio App.3d 281, 284, 712 N.E.2d 800, an obligor parent who had been found in contempt for failure to pay child support argued that the child support enforcement agency that had brought the contempt action against him pursuant to R.C. 2705.031(B)(1) lacked the authority to do so because, among other things, the CSEA failed to file a motion to intervene. The Court rejected that argument, finding that the CSEA had the authority to bring the contempt action against the obligor parent pursuant to R.C. 2705.031(B)(1) despite the agency's failure to file a motion to intervene in the action. Collins at 286.
