Alright...

I am reading the information on the Department of Revenue as an agency and this is what I see in reference to child support...

20.21 Department of Revenue.--There is created a Department of Revenue.

(1) The head of the Department of Revenue is the Governor and Cabinet.

(h) The child support enforcement responsibilities of the department include the administration of the child support enforcement program established by Title IV-D of the Social Security Act, 42 U.S.C. ss. 651 et seq.

(4) Necessary legal services, pursuant to chapter 16, including litigation shall be provided to the Department of Revenue by the Department of Legal Affairs, except for the establishment of paternity or support obligations, and the modification, enforcement, and collection of support obligations, for which legal services may be provided under a contract entered into by the Department of Revenue as the Title IV-D agency.

in (4) this is why there is a private attorney working on behalf of the department. he does not actually work within the department, rather, he is being contracted by them.

Going to read more. I still do not quite understand.
