File this one under unintended consequences. When Governor Holden reorganized the state agency that handles child support collections . . . disbanding one agency and creating another . . . no one passed the laws to give the new department the legal authority to file new child support cases.
Jay Dougherty is the presiding judge of Jackson County.
