The opinion

HUGHES, J.,

dissents with reasons.

I respectfully dissent due to two concerns with the use of the IV-D program by the spouse who owes, rather than receives, child support. When the rights of the holder of a judgment' are transferred to the state against the will of the judgment obligee at the behest of the judgment debtor, due process, is implicated. Also, while the judge who heard the family matter, and the IV-D matter in the case before us was the same, I am concerned that without a district court rule addressing the possibility, judge shopping will occur.
