Description
1. The formal hearing that this court has required in State ex rel. Department of Human Services v. Huffman, W.Va. ,
332 S.E.2d 866 (1985), is placed by statute in the West Virginia circuit courts and the family law masters, at such time as
a Child Advocate seeks a judgment for back support. 2. The Child Advocate is an advocate for the interests of the State in cases where the State seeks to recoup support from
a defaulting parent; however, the Child Advocate is vested with discretion so that when a defaulting parent presents clear
and convincing evidence of inability to pay to a Child Advocate, the Child Advocate is not obliged to pursue the matter in
circuit court if an unfavorable outcome for the State is not in doubt.
